EUR/USD focus on risk, Draghi
The pair has faded its initial spike to the 1.0780 area, retreating to the current 1.0750/40 band ahead of the speech by President M.Draghi at the BoE event.
According to market consensus, M.Draghi would refrain from talking about monetary policy today, leaving the pair to extend its consolidative pattern around current levels pending developments from the broader risk trends.
