TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The euro slipped against a broadly stronger dollar on Tuesday, amid expectations that the monetary policy message emerging from the ECB at a central bank conference this week will be a cautious one.

Friday’s speech by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi is among the set-piece events at the Jackson Hole symposium, where remarks by his Federal Reserve counterpart Janet Yellen on the same day will be the main focus.

“The euro has become slightly vulnerable after the recent rise and unless Draghi comes out and says anything significant, we expect the currency to remain under pressure,” said Piotr Matys, an FX strategist at Rabobank in London.
