The Greenback strengthened against the Eurozone's single currency, following US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI data release on Tuesday. The EUR/USD currency pair lost only five pips, or 0.05%, to continue fluctuating in the 1.1665 area.
The Institute for Supply Management released Purchasing Managers Index data that came out better-than-expected of 58.6, compared to the 56.8 in the previous period. Yohay Elam, Economic Event Analyst explains:
"A better ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI could resume the broader uptrend of the greenback and turn the recent slide into just another correction, blip, or dead cat bounce in the greater scheme of things."
