Positive corporate US reports support the risk sentiments.

Asian and European trading sessions.
Euro: The successful Greek bond auction continued to have a positive impact on the euro dynamics on Wednesday. Nevertheless, the released European fundamentals during the European session pressured the euro temporarily. The Euro-zone industrial production annualized grew for only 9.4% when the forecasted growth showed the 11.4% increase.
The EUR/USD pair traded in the range of $1,2690-$1,2730.

British Pound: The pound reached its 2-month maximum against the US dollar at the level of $1.5290 as the released jobless claims unexpectedly dropped in June for 20,800 thousand.
Japanese Yen: The yen dropped against the background of the increased demand for the high-risk currencies.
Oil: The oil rate decreased to $76.85 per barrel.
