Euro and pound bounced back from the weekly lows as pressure on risky assets eased earlier, thanks for expectations of more aggressive interest rate hikes from the European Central Bank and Bank of England. The news was revealed today by representatives of these central banks; however, there are still plenty of reasons to buy dollar during the US session. Positive development in long term goods orders and a similarly good increase in pending home sales will allow sellers of risky assets to prove themselves. And while an upward correction in EUR and GBP may be expected, a fall in both currencies should be considered by the end of the day.
