Last weekend, the U.S. dollar became the weakest currency during U.S. trading hours after the U.S. April durable goods orders, released on Friday the 24th, fell to 0.7% from 2.6% the previous month.The EUR/USD pair rose from 1.0805 to 1.0857, breaking out from below the 20-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart to trade above it. Although it has not yet reached a new high on the 4-hour chart, it is firmly above the 20-period MA, so we will be watching closely to see if the U.S. dollar softens during European trading hours.
European currencies rose against the yen as Germany’s first-quarter GDP (flash estimate), released last weekend, remained unchanged from the previous month at -0.2% year-over-year.The euro/yen pair rose from 169.603 to 170.495, rebounding from the 75-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. As the pair continues its gradual upward trend along the 20-period MA on the 4-hour chart, it will be interesting to see if it reaches new highs during U.S. trading hours.
