By Dhwani MehtaEUR/USD rises from 1.1420 levels
The EUR/USD pair trades 0.75% higher at 1.1470, bouncing-off session lows reached at 1.1420. The major ran through fresh buyers heading in to European morning as markets react to the latest crash witnessed in Chinese stocks during the Asian hours.
The EUR/USD pair once again looks to retest 1.1500 levels as risk-off sentiment persists after sharp declines in Chinese equities.
Analysts at ANZ noted, "Risk off’ remains the dominant theme of currency markets, with JPY and EUR expected to continue to strengthen."
Moreover, the euro remain the main beneficiaries of the falling rate hike bets in the US as EUR/USD was oversold on the widening divergence in policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB).
On the data front, today’s trading session remains data-empty with China fears expected to remain in focus fanning risk-off environment across the board.
