Current Session: U.S.
EUR/USD
U.S. Forex Market Commentary by GCI
The euro moved higher vis-Ã -vis the U.S. dollar today as the single currency tested offers around the US$ 1.3625 level and was supported around the $1.3590 level. Technically, today's intraday low was right around the 38.2% retracement of the move from $1.3680 to $1.3535. A few factors contributed to the pair's gains today. First, French presidential candidate Sarkozy won the run-off election in France this weekend and even though he was critical of the European Central Bank during his campaign, he was less critical than leftist candidate Royal.
