The euro and the pound managed to maintain an advantage over the dollar despite a strong correction observed in risk assets during the second half of the day.

Yesterday's comments from Federal Reserve officials strengthened the U.S. dollar, but buyers were ultimately unable to hold their positions. The euro still has the potential for further growth, but this will require favorable economic data from the eurozone countries. It seems that today should present no difficulties in that regard. The pound may also respond positively to solid labor market data.

In the first half of the day, we'll see the release of Germany's ZEW Economic Sentiment Index and the ZEW Current Conditions Index. Similar sentiment indicators for the eurozone will also be published alongside industrial production data. The day will conclude with a speech by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who is unlikely to touch on monetary policy prospects ahead of Thursday's ECB meeting, where traders expect more concrete answers.

As mentioned earlier, the UK will publish figures on jobless claims. The number of unemployment benefit claims is an important indicator of the health of the British labor market. An increase signals worsening employment conditions, while a decline indicates improvement. Various factors, including overall economic conditions, changes in employment legislation, and seasonal trends, influence this indicator. The UK unemployment rate will be equally significant. A high unemployment rate may suggest an economic slowdown, putting pressure on the pound. Otherwise, the GBP/USD pair may continue to rise.

The Mean Reversion strategy is preferred if the data matches economists' expectations. The Momentum strategy is more appropriate if the data significantly exceeds or falls short of expectations.
