EUR climbs higher following decision from ECB
The US dollar remains weak against peers after trading lower yesterday. Demand for safe haven assets waned causing downward pressure on the greenback. News this morning showed that the European Central Bank has left rates unchanged. This announcement supports the common currency with EUR/USD breaking above 1.18.
