EUR/USD witnesses solid recovery

The EUR/USD now trades at 1.0534 levels, recording a gain of 0.36% on the day, bouncing-off session high at 1.0553 levels reached an hour ago. EUR/USD failed to sustain at higher levels and retreated from highs as traders remain wary ahead of ECB President Mario Draghi’s speech on the Future of the Finance Industry in Frankfurt today which could spur some volatility. Moreover, uncertainties over Greece resurfaced which too also keeps a lid on the gains in EUR/USD.

Meanwhile, EUR/USD may remain buoyed amid a generalized US dollar weakness ahead of US macro data in light of a quiet euro economic calendar for rest of the session.
