The pair could especially be boosted by any downturn in risk appetite as higher yielders usually do. The fact that AUDUSD failed to break 0.9070 3-month trend line is also key. But even if we do see a retest of 0.9070, the very dynamics pushing AUD higher would likely boost EUR. BANK OF ENGLAND PARLIAMENTARY TESTIMONY will be key for GBP as hawkish Andrew Sentence makes his case for higher rates, likely to contest Kings dovish stance; :845 am GMT (9:45 BST)
