FXStreet (Córdoba) – The US dollar failed to hold onto gains inspired by Yellen remarks, with EUR/USD bouncing sharply and regaining the 1.06 mark after hitting fresh 7-month lows.
EUR/USD dropped to its lowest level since April at 1.0549 after Fed Chair Yellen sent a strong signal saying delaying the lift-off too long may risk abrupt tightening later and that she is confident inflation will move toward the Fed’s target.
However, EUR/USD quickly changed course after printing fresh cycle lows, reversing most of its early losses in a matter of minutes. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.0615, still 0.14% below its opening price after being 0.76% down at one stage.
