EUR/USD bounced from 1.1730 and rose erasing losses. The pair even reached a fresh daily high at 1.1780. The area around the top capped the upside and at the moment of writing, it was trading at 1.1765/69, around the same level it closed yesterday.

A resilient euro and a pullback of the US dollar pushed the pair to the upside during the last hours. The US Dollar Index reached earlier at 93.61, a fresh 1-week high but then retreated to 93.30. It moved off daily highs as Treasury yields remained near daily highs, and also as the Dow Jones index hit a new record high above 23,100. At the same time, the euro rose to fresh highs versus the pound and the Swiss franc.
