EUR/USD decline accelerates

The pair continues to trim last week’s post-Bernanke gains, falling since levels just above 1.3200 the figure to the current test of the psychological mark at 1.3000. “In broad terms, we think the Fed’s cautious move towards policy normalization should keep the big dollar well supported against its major currency peers”, suggested G.Moore and S.Osborne, FX Strategists at TD Securities.
