0707 GMT - The euro and Central and Eastern European currencies couldrally if the Russia-U.S. summit delivers material progress in resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Barclays analysts say in a note. The euro, Hungarian forint, Polish zloty and Czech koruna would benefit the most on any positive news given their sensitivities to supply-side oil shocks and the CEE's region's proximity to the conflict, they say. In contrast, the Swiss franc could fall on any progress towards a ceasefire due to its safe-haven status. The Norwegian krone and Brazilian real could also come under pressure as oil producers.
