EUR/USD reaches fresh 6-week highs
EUR/USD managed to climb above the 1.12 mark and reached fresh post-Brexit highs during the New York session, as the greenback weakened slightly following the release of US personal spending/income data.
EUR/USD rose to a fresh 6-week high of 1.1215, but lost momentum and steadied just below. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.1210, recording a 0.45% gain on the day.
Even though economic data has become more relevant as investors assess the likelihood of a rate hike by the Fed before the year end, latest releases are having little, if any, impact on the dollar ahead of the eagerly awaited US nonfarm payrolls report due on Friday.
