01:50 GMT - Gap up at the open to reach fresh high at 1.3680 before settling back to consolidate strong gains from the 1.3340 low of last week.

Clearance here will return focus to the 1.3788, July 2025 year high. Meanwhile, support is raised to the 1.3600 level now expected to underpin. Break will open up room for deeper pullback in consolidation to the 1.3568/33, 6 January/December highs and 1.3500 congestion.
