EUR / USD hits new day highs around 1.2030 awaiting European PMIs

The EUR/USD It is regaining ground this Friday after the drop it experienced in yesterday’s American session, when it bottomed out at a four-day lows at 1.1993. The pair settled above 1.2000 today, reaching a daily high at 1.2030 in the European pre-open.

The rise in the single currency is accompanied by a modest decline in the dollar, whose DXY index has fallen to 91.16, the new low of the day, from around 91.30. Yields on 10-year US bonds, meanwhile, are at 1.561% at this time, improving after the fall at the end of yesterday’s session to 1.53%.

Traders expect a new driver in the next few hours. The focus is on the preliminary PMI manufacturing and services data for Germany and the Eurozone for the month of April. Setbacks are expected in both indices, but a positive surprise could trigger a rise in the euro. Later in the day, the United States will also release its PMI data alongside the new home sales for March.
