EUR/USD rallies over 1% in Asian trading on Monday as the relentless selling interest in the US Dollar (USD) paves the way for the major to clear the 1.1500 threshold for the first time since November 2021.
Growing concerns over a US economic recession and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) independence continue to exert downward pressure on the USD. Meanwhile, a lack of any progress on the trade talks between the US and the European Union (EU) also continues to act as a headwind to the Greenback, keeping the EUR/USD pair underpinned.
The US-Sino trade war escalation, with the latest tit-for-tat move by the Chinese on Boeing planes and US’ investigation into minerals imports from China, remains a constant drag on the US Dollar, allowing EUR/USD to clinch milestones.
Looking ahead, the pair could witness exaggerated price action due to thin trading conditions on Easter Monday. Overbought conditions on the daily time frame could likely keep buyers cautious ahead of the Eurozone preliminary business PMI data slated for release in the upcoming week.
