EUR/USD improved marginally and left behind a negative first half of the week, revisiting the 1.0830 region on Wednesday. The final Inflation Rate in Germany is expected on July 11.
GBP/USD maintained its bullish bias past the 1.2800 level on the back of hawkish comments from BoE officials and some mild selling pressure in the Greenback.
