So far, the euro failed to extend the run above 1.1400 but it was holding near the top, consolidating a daily gain of 35 pips and on top of the 1.1370 area and the 20-day moving average. Today’s move higher represents an extension of the rally that started last week from monthly lows at 1.1230. On American hours, the greenback lost ground across the board. The DXY dropped to 96.00 and it was having the worst day in a month. US yields move lower and the 10-year was at 2.63%, slightly above February lows. Also, some technical fac- tors contribute to the latest leg higher. On Wednesday, US President Trump will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Regarding data, trade numbers for December, pending homes sales for January and factory orders for December are due. GBP/USD GBP/USD trades around 1.3255 as traders look to handover to the early Asian session on Wednesday. The pair surged to the five-month high near 1.3290 during Tuesday as the UK PM Theresa May’s parliament appearance challenged concerns about a no- deal Brexit. Adding to the momentum strength were opposition Labour party’s readi- ness to bring the second referendum on the table and the BoE officials’ inflation re- port hearings. At the US, lack of clear signals from the Fed Chair’s testimony and mixed economics confined the US Dollar strength. During Tuesday, PM May appeared in the British parliament and said she hasn’t discussed Brexit delay with the EU offi- cials. However, her timetable signaled a vote to extend Article 50 on March 14 if members of the parliament (MPs) reject her fresh plan on March 12 and also turn down no deal Brexit on March 13.
