FXStreet (Edinburgh) – The shared currency is accelerating its daily upside, sending EUR/USD to test fresh intraday tops in the vicinity of 1.1340.

EUR/USD stronger post-Yellen

The pair gained further ground following the press conference by Chairwoman J.Yellen, who insisted that the Committee will remain ‘data-dependent’ in order to assess the proper timing for a rate hike.

She also emphasized that members are willing to see further evidence that a moderate economic growth can be sustained before returning to a normalization of monetary policy.
