EUR/USD: Bounce higher – Danske Bank

Jens Nærvig Pedersen, senior analyst at Danske Bank, explains that the EUR/USD pair has bounced around in the range of 1.1282-1.1313 over the past day, where stronger data releases, first the better-than-expected ZEW reading yesterday, where the higher expectations component does provide some ray of light for the euro zone economy, and later the stronger Q1 growth data out of China, pushed the pair higher.
