The euro and the pound firmed against their major counterparts
in the European session on Monday, as U.S. debt ceiling jitters
eased following President Joe Biden's remarks that he is hopeful of
reaching a deal to raise the borrowing limit.
Biden, who is planning to meet with congressional leaders on
Tuesday, said he remained optimistic about an eventual agreement on
raising the government's $31.4 trillion borrowing limit.
Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said on Sunday that the
two sides are engaged in constructive talks.
Lael Brainard, a former Federal Reserve vice chair, told CBS on
Sunday that debt-ceiling negotiations are ongoing in a constructive
manner.
The leaders are planning to meet on Tuesday after "productive"
staff-level discussions over the weekend.
