Yesterday there was a significant demand for the euro. The growth of the EUR/USD quotations exceeded 90 points. This is due to the publication of an optimistic report on inflation and a decrease in the unemployment rate in the euro area to 9.1% (minimum since 2009). The currency found resistance at 1.18400.
