EUR/USD hit a daily high of 1.1915, as demand for the greenback eased on the back of weakening US Treasury yields. However, the pair was unable to sustain gains and trades sub-1.1900 ahead of the US opening. According to FXStreet’s Chief Analyst Valeria Bednarik, EUR/USD retains its bearish stance in the near-term as the dollar is set to resume its advance.
