EUR-USD rose to 1.0769 from 1.0767 at the Friday US close and 1.0748 at the same time Friday morning. The Eurozone services purchasing managers' index rose in April to indicate faster expansion while producer prices declined in March at a slower rate than in the previous month and investor confidence improved modestly in May, data released overnight showed. The next European Central Bank meeting is scheduled for June 6.

GBP-USD rose to 1.2575 from 1.2551 at the Friday US close and 1.2559 at the same time Friday morning. Monday is a holiday in the UK, so no data are being released. The next Bank of England meeting is scheduled for Thursday when no change in interest rates is expected.
