EUR/USD prints fresh 3-day highs above 1.0930
EUR/USD rose further and printed a fresh 3-day high at 1.0933 during the American session. Then it pulled back modestly and it was trading at 1.0920, up 60 pips for the day, headed toward the first positive close since the beginning of the week.
The pair gained momentum after US economic data that triggered a decline of the US dollar in the market. The report also boosted US Treasuries. The 10-year yield fell from 2.38% to 2.32%, the sharpest decline in weeks and kept the US dollar under pressure. Also a stronger euro is giving support to the pair. The euro is among the top performers in the market.
