“There is a case that last week's 1.0595 print was the corrective high in EUR/USD – we should know a lot more by next Wednesday evening after the FOMC meeting – and it will be interesting to see what the European Central Bank has to say on the 15th. 

“Some are speculating that the current calm in European bond markets could prompt the ECB to be slightly more aggressive in its quantitative tightening plans – so let's see.”
