Turkish current account for March and Czech CPI inflation for April will be released at 8:00 am BST. The former is expected to show a widening to $0.98 billion while the latter should show price growth remaining unchanged at 3% YoY. Three Fed speakers round up the calendar.

USDCZK is trading higher on Monday morning as the US-China trade spat forces traders to look for safety. The pair trades around the midpoint of the upward channel and slightly above the 50-session moving average. Note that long upper wicks of last week’s candlesticks (orange circle on the chart above) hint that bulls may be looming in the 22.95-23.00 area. Source: xStation5
