EURUSD trading plan:

Having firmly scaled-back rate expectations amid last month's market turmoil, investors no longer expect borrowing costs to stay higher for longer and are cautious about pricing in a deposit rate above 4%. As well as fretting about other potential skeletons in the banking sector's closet, traders are worried about what effect the quickest rate-hiking cycle since the adoption of the euro will have on the 20-country currency bloc's economy.

Investment idea: range 1.0900 - 1.0990.
