EUR/USD hits daily highs, then retreats
Currently, EUR/USD turns negative near 1.0612, flirting fresh session lows struck at 1.0608 few minutes ago. The main currency pair came under fresh selling pressure after the European bells, with the European traders resorting to fresh round of euro selling in wake of a dovish taper move announced by the ECB a day before.
Further, fresh buying interest seen around the US dollar versus its main competitors also collaborated to the latest leg lower in the major. However, the retreat remains restricted amid negative European equities, which keeps the sentiment buoyed around the funding currency euro.
Next on tap for the major remains the US consumer sentiment data due on the cards in the NA session, while all eyes now turn towards the much-awaited Fed event scheduled next week.
