USD making a comeback

The US dollar is making a comeback across the board after the EUR/USD pair erased gains and fell below 1.13 levels. For the past few sessions, the other major currency pairs have been largely mimicking the movement in the EUR/USD pair. Consequently, the GBP/USD pair fell into losses as well.

Fresh offers below 1.5336 ensured the pair extended losses to hit a session low of 1.5294. At the moment, the pair is trading at 1.5302; down 0.30% on the day.
