EUR/USD: Super Tuesday, super dollar

EUR/USD is on the back foot after Biden leads on Super Tuesday. US bond yields and the US dollar are reacting positively to the political news, pushing EUR/USD lower. The Fed’s emergency rate cut, coronavirus headlines, and top-tier US figures are eyed, as FXStreet’s Yohay Elam notes.
