Euro and pound fell this morning despite reports indicating that Germany's economy and the UK real estate market are in good shape. Perhaps, market players are more concerned with the upcoming speech of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, which will help clarify how officials plan to raise interest rates and to what levels. If aggression persists, demand for US dollar will return, which will cause another decline in both euro and pound. But if Powell buckles under the pressure from Democrats and doesn't go "over the top" with interest rates, keeping the possibility of a soft landing scenario for the economy, risk appetite will return, which will allow traders to buy and wait for the monthly highs to be updated.
