EUR/USD triggers stops and extends gains

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The euro extended gains to fresh highs as it advances across the board, underpinned by German yields rise. EUR/USD triggered stops on the break of its European session high of 1.1178 and stretched to a peak of 1.1191 in recent dealings.

The pair is recovering some of its post nonfarm payrolls losses as the dollar weakened across the board following a report, later denied, that US President Barack Obama had expressed concern over USD strength.

However, lack of conviction dominates and keeps EUR/USD within Friday’s boundaries as Greek uncertainty prevails.
