EUR/USD up on USD-selling, looks to data

The softer tone around the greenback continues to sustain the up move in spot to fresh multi-day peaks in the 1.1750 region on Monday.

The pick up in the risk-on mood following May’s Non-farm Payrolls figures published on Friday (223K) has given extra legs to the shared currency, while less auspicious news from the US-China/US-EU trade conflicts appears to have removed some optimism from the buck’s prospects for the time being.

Data wise in Euroland, the Sentix index came in below expectations and previous reading for the month of June, while Producer Prices in the region disappointed initial estimates in April.

In the US data space, April’s Factory Orders and Durable Goods Orders are next on tap.
