Analysis and trading tips for EUR/USD and GBP/USD on March 13 (US session)

Risk appetite fell as expectations for further Fed rate hikes eased. Market players are now betting on a pause in interest rate increases, especially after what happened last week with SVB, which forced the US Treasury to intervene.

As there are no important statistics scheduled to be released this afternoon, traders should closely monitor the Fed's actions and the bond market situation, as both will affect the market's sentiment today. The chances of seeing a price increase in euro and pound are higher.
