USD down in the market
The rally from 1.1160/65 (daily low) started amid a stronger euro but the push above 1.1300 was boosted by a decline of the US dollar across the board. Greenback erased gains and actually dropped into negative territory even against commodity currencies.

From Monday’s lows, the pair is now up more than 200 pips. From a technical perspective, it strengthened today after breaking above last week highs located at 1.1245/50.
