EUR/USD regains 5-DMA at 1.0654

Currently, the spot advances +0.15% to trade near fresh daily tops of 1.0658, reversing sharply from daily lows of 1.0612. The EUR/USD paused a three-day sell-off and now rebounds sharply, in response to fresh USD selling triggered by a retreat in the treasury yields as risk-on trades take a breather.

From a wider perspective, the euro is expected to remain exposed to further downside risks and markets believe any pullback in EUR/USD can be seen as a good buying opportunity, as Eurozone political tensions amid French and German elections continue to dampen the sentiment around the common currency.
