That's a quick boost there to risk and sees the dollar slip back against the likes of the euro while the aussie and kiwi are extending their gains on the day, rising to session highs.

Awaiting more details on the matter where possible but this is a good boost to risk ahead of the summit this weekend. EUR/USD recovers from the day's low of 1.1315 to 1.1337 currently while AUD/USD moves up from 0.7250 to a high of 0.7269 on the back of the headline here.
