The EUR/USD remained within reach of yesterday's one month high during the overnight session, as investor expectations that the ECB will soon move to lower borrowing costs in Spain and Italy helped boost risk appetite. The pair is currently trading around the 1.2400 level. The AUD/USD hit a four-month high at 1.0602 last night, after the Reserve Bank of Australia left interest rates unchanged at 3.50%. The pair is currently trading at 1.0590.
