EURO and US News
The recent rise in demand for the Greenback starts to lose steam after the earlier spike in US Treasury yields.
A hike in demand for riskier assets drained the USD’s demand as a safe-haven asset, which leads to the USD hitting a two-year low this January.
The incoming Joe Biden administration’s spending expectations forced the US Treasury into new highs, seeing the ten-year yield attain a ten-month high on Tuesday.
The USD Index, a measure of the Greenback versus a basket of currencies, dropped by 0.11% from 90.38.

EURUSD Daily Chart Projections: Bullish
The upward momentum starts to slow down quickly on the daily-chart as traders speculate on the US inauguration and lockdown in the Eurozone.
