EUR/USD makes another attempt at 1.3400
FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/USD took another step higher and rose briefly above the 1.3400 level, with the rally being propelled by USD weakness more than euro self-strength.
Falling US yields and disappointing jobless claims are taking its toll on the greenback, which is losing ground against most rivals. The euro on the other hand, managed to shrug off disappointing GDP figures and is among the best performers today.
The EUR/USD snuck a peek above 1.3400 and scored a high of 1.3407 before pulling back slightly. At time of writing, the EUR/USD is trading at 1.3392, still up 0.22% on the day.
