Yahoo Finance EUR/USD Mid-Session Technical Analysis for January 14, 2020
The Euro is trading lower against the U.S. Dollar on Tuesday as benchmark 10-year government bond yields in the Euro Zone inched down, making the single-currency a less-desirable asset. After rising to near two-week highs on Monday, most 10-year bond yields edged back down in what analysts said was largely position squaring.
At 13:26 GMT, the EUR/USD is trading 1.1107, down 0.0027 or -0.25%.
In other news, European Central Bank board member Yves Mersch said on Tuesday, economic growth and inflation in the Euro Zone are showing “good signs of stabilization” after a slowdown. The ECB holds its first meeting of the year next week.
