EUR/USD looks to data, yields
After recording fresh multi-month lows in the 1.1770/65 band on Wednesday, the pair managed to attract some attention and has not only regained the 1.1800 barrier but also advanced to the 1.1840 region, where run out of some steam.
On the other side, the buck is navigating its second consecutive session with losses following another YTD tops around 93.65 recorded yesterday. The greenback remains on the defensive despite yields of the key US 10-year note are testing multi-year tops around 3.10%.
Later in the session, the speech by ECB’s V.Constancio will be the sole event in Euroland, whereas the Philly Fed manufacturing index and Initial Claims are expected across the pond.
