EUR/USD Hovers Below 1.1400 After US Jobless Claims Data

EUR/USD
had pulled back from fresh 2016 highs and is back below the 1.1400
level as the greenback recovered ground across the board, while the euro

time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at 1.1360, down 0.33% on the day,
after reaching a fresh year to date high at 1.1453 during the European
session.
Later in the session, the main highlights will be ECB President Draghi and Fed’s Chair Janet Yellen speeches.
