EUR/USD keeps highs near 1.1260
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The single currency has abruptly reverted the initial negative start, now lifting EUR/USD to fresh peaks in the mid-1.1200s.
EUR/USD boosted by German Bunds
Despite renewed uncertainties in the Greek front and the less likely chances of a deal this week, the buying interest around the euro made a strong comeback. In fact, the sell off in the German debt market is propelling 10-year yields to fresh yearly highs, giving a solid support to the EUR rally.
In another direction, market participants largely bypassed the ECB meeting and subsequent press conference by M.Draghi, where he has ruled out any QE taper or anticipated exit from the current bond-buying programme.
EUR/USD levels to watch
The pair is gaining 0.91% at 1.1252 with the next hurdle at 1.1272 (high Jun.3) followed by 1.1300 (psychological level) and finally 1.1315 (76.4% of 1.1468-1.0819). On the downside, a break below 1.1200 (psychological level) would open the door to 1.1103 (low Jun.3) and then 1.1079 (100-d MA).
