The completely empty macroeconomic calendar of the eurozone kept EUR/USD up this morning. GBP/USD also traded upwards, as traders reacted positively to the Bank of England minutes, which indicated that the central bank intends to continue its fight against the cost of living crisis and high inflation.

There is US data on home sales in the afternoon and a speech from FOMC member Michael Barr. Both could prompt a rise in dollar, unless markets do not react at all to the reports. In the case of the latter, risk appetite will surge, which will lead to euro and pound hitting new monthly highs.
