EUR/USD declines as European equities recover
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The single currency declined during the European session tracking recovery in the US treasury yields and the European equity markets.
The EUR/USD Pair traded 0.26% lower at 1.2429 levels, compared to the previous session’s close of 1.2462. The EUR and the major Eurozone equity indices witnessed contradictory moves throughout last week. The German equity index Dax declined, while the EURUSD pair posted weekly gains. However, the Dax has gained 0.66% today, which pushed the single currency lower.
Meanwhile, the 10-yr treasury yields in the Us has recovered 5 basis points from the low of 2.07%, to trade at 2.12% at the time of writing. The recovery in the treasury yields has further weakened the single currency. Moreover, with no major data due for release out of the Eurozone today, the pair is at the mercy of overall market sentiment.
EUR/USD Technical Levels
The pair has an immediate support at 1.2420 (5-DMA), under which losses could be extended to 1.2377 (10-DMA). Meanwhile, the resistance is seen at 1.2458 and 1.25 levels.
