EUR/USD - 1.1871... The single currency went through a volatile session on Thursday. Although euro rebounded from 1.1833 at Asian open to 1.1852 at European open, price dropped to 1.1817 on active safe-haven usd buying. However, the pair erased intra-day losses and rallied to 1.1882 near New York close as U.S. Democrats and Republicans agreed to resume Covid-19 relief talks before weakening to 1.1866 in Australia today on profit-taking but then recovered to 1.1878 in Asian morning.
