Euro continues to recover from the loss it had after yesterday's collapse, while pound, on the other hand, is not doing as well as hoped. Traders will know if this scenario will carry on today, depending on what the results of the ECB meeting will be. A further 0.5% interest rate hike will prompt an increase in euro, while the refusal of the ECB to raise rates at all will lead to a deeper price decline. In the afternoon, the US is set to release data on the labor market, which is an important part of the Federal Reserve's policy. Construction permits and new foundation starts are not going to be that important, so markets will ignore those numbers. As such, it is likely that both EUR/USD and GBP/USD will see gains, with the latter recovering from its weekly lows.
