Details of the economic calendar from May 31
Inflation in the eurozone continues to update the record. The consumer price index continued to rise from 7.4% to 8.1% YoY. Inflation exceeds the ECB's target by more than four times. This gives us a clear signal that the regulator will raise the interest rate in the near future.
Negative inflation data put pressure on the European currency, which led to its weakening. It is worth considering that hints of an early increase in interest rates may lead to a backlash.

Trading plan for EUR/USD on June 1
The process of restoring dollar positions is at an early stage. Traders are afraid of the resumption of the corrective course in case the price returns to the resistance area. The subsequent growth in the volume of short positions is expected during the period of price retention below the value of 1.0680. This move may lead to a stronger signal to sell the euro.
Trading plan for GBP/USD on June 1
Stable price retention below the value of 1.2560 will increase the chances of sellers in the subsequent recovery of dollar positions. In the future, this movement may restart the downward trend.
An alternative scenario of the market development will be considered by traders if the quote returns to the borders of the previously passed stagnation 1.2600/1.2670. In this case, a new signal about the prolongation of the corrective move may appear.
