FXStreet (Mumbai) – The EUR/USD pair found fresh bids at 50-DMA and stormed its way higher towards 1.13 handle in the mid-European trades on the back of renewed USD selling.
EUR/USD extends beyond 1.1250
The EUR/USD pair trades 0.62% higher at fresh daily highs of 1.1290, now attempting 1.13 handle. The major was caught by a fresh bid wave as the US dollar continues to be relentlessly offered as the latest US employment report casts doubts on the US economic prospects and boosts speculations over the delay in the Fed rate-hike prospects until early next year.
The EUR/USD pair also ignored the strong performance on the domestic equities as also lack lustre Euro zone services PMIs and retail sales data, as the main driver for the main currency pair remains the broad US dollar weakness.
Besides, a set of US services sector data including the final services PMI and the ISM non-manufacturing report will also have some bearing on the pair.
