The US debt ceiling issue has been solved yet. On Friday, the negotiations between the parties led to nothing. Republicans said that the requirements of the White House were not reasonable.Today, the negotiations are still in progress. Meanwhile, traders are pricing in the comments provided by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. She said that the government might announce a default as early as June 1.As strange as it might seem, the US dollar is gaining value as a safe-haven asset amid the mounting uncertainty.Although the US dollar is considerably overbought, the euro and the pound sterling were gradually losing value last week. Such a movement could be explained by the macroeconomic data that supported the greenback. Only on Friday, both the euro and the British pound managed to inch up amid the absence of macroeconomic reports.Today, the situation is almost the same as the macroeconomic calendar is not rich in events. What is more, the results of the G7 meeting did not bring any new or surprising information. That is why today, the currencies are likely to repeat Friday’s scenario.On the trading chart, we see that an inertial downward movement of the euro/dollar pair slackened near the level of 1.0750. Thanks to a clear technical signal of oversold conditions, the pair rebounded and climbed to 1.0800.If the price consolidates above 1.0800, the volume of long positions may increase. In the event of this, the quote may rise above 1.0850. This could be considered the next stage of the price recovery after a two-week downward correction. The downward scenario will become possible if the quote drops below 1.0750. In this case, the correctional movement will continue.Meanwhile, the pound sterling managed to partially recoup its losses against the US dollar on Friday. As a result, the currency appreciated by 0.5%.Although the price has increased, the correctional movement remains in force. However, if the price consolidates above 1.2500, the market sentiment could become bullish. In the event of this, a rise in the volume of long positions may point to the pound’s recovery after the recent drop. At the same time, there is a risk of a further decrease to 1.2350.
