Ka-Pow! Euro Currency Fights Back Against Greenback (FXE)

June 29, 2012 8:11 AM EDT
The value of the Euro currency ripped higher against the U.S dollar after reports out of the EU summit triggered a reversal. The value of the EUR/USD jumped over 150 pips, taking the spot price from near 1.2450 to a high of around 1.2620 – a huge intraday move. Since then, the spot rate has settled back toward the 1.2580 area.

CurrencyShares Euro Trust (NYSE: FXE) which tracks the EUR/USD spot rate, is expected to open higher as the Euro currency gained 1 percent overnight.

Other currencies have also softened against the Euro, including GBP and JPY.

In the short term, EUR/USD will look to retake and hold levels at 1.2620, with more upside resistance consolidated around the 1.2700 level.
