The narrow trade-weighted USD index edged out a fresh three-and-a-half month low at 95.65, which is a culmination of a clear three-week downtrend. The euro is trading at modestly softer levels against the dollar and most other currencies, with the forex market looking to have priced-in the green lighting of the EU recovery fund. EUR-USD has settled around 1.1450, below the three-and-a-half month peak seen yesterday at 1.1469. EUR-JPY has concurrently settled off yesterday’s six-week high, while other euro crosses, most notably EUR-GBP, have also ebbed from highs.
