The pair has faded yesterday’s spike to the 1.0780 region, coming down to probe the vicinity of 1.0700 the figure early in the Asian session just to gather some traction since then.
Advanced figures from Manufacturing PMIs in the euro region will be the salient releases during the European morning, although USD-dynamics stay as the almost exclusive driver for the price action.
Solid performance of German yields as of late has lent extra support to the pair’s up move, while the renewed offered bias around the buck has also collaborated.
Recent comments by US Treasury Secretary S.Mnuchin lifted the sentiment around the Dollar, stressing that the Trump administration should unveil further details on its plans for the tax reform anytime soon.
