Euro Gains Ground Against U.S. Dollar

EUR/USD is currently trading near the support level at 1.1420 while U.S. dollar is losing some ground against a broad basket of currencies.

The U.S. Dollar Index has recently made an attempt to settle above the resistance at 95.20 but failed to develop sufficient upside momentum and pulled back. The nearest support level for the U.S. Dollar Index is located at 95. In case the U.S. Dollar Index gets to the test of this level, EUR/USD will get more support.

There are no important economic reports scheduled to be released in the U.S. and EU today, so it remains to be seen whether foreign exchange market traders will be ready for big moves.

It should be noted that the yield of 2-year Treasuries is already close to the psychologically important 1.00% level, but the recent rise in yields failed to provide support to the American currency.

Traders look ready to push yields higher which could be bullish for the U.S. dollar, but is unclear whether the American currency will react to such a move given the recent trading action.
