(Dow Jones via eFXnews)EUR/USD - to trade in lower range. Undermined by positive USD sentiment and narrowing EUR/USD interest rate differential after Fed chief Bernanke yesterday quashed expectations of a third round of U.S. quantitative easing and ECB offered cheap three-year lending facility to 800 banks which took out loans of EUR529.5 billion; jump in Portuguese government bond yields yesterday despite ECB's second LTRO as investors worry that Lisbon is likely to need a second bailout and is heading toward possible default on its debt; caution ahead of confirmation of agreement from private bondholders on Greece's EUR100 billion debt write-down restructuring plan as ISDA committee will hold meeting at 1100 GMT today to decide on whether a Greek CDS payout should be triggered. But EUR/USD losses tempered by sovereign demand for euro.

(Dow Jones via eFXnews)GBP/USD - to trade in lower range after hitting three-month high of 1.5990 yesterday. Undermined by waning investor risk appetite; positive USD sentiment. But GBP sentiment soothed after BOE data showed UK money supply grew GBP29.0 billion in January, its fastest rate in at least 2.5 years, while lending to individuals and companies also rose sharply. GBP/USD losses also tempered by GBP demand on soft EUR/GBP cross.
Data focus: 0700 GMT UK February Nationwide house price index, 0930 GMT February CIPS manufacturing PMI.
