EUR/USD –  Currency Pair Hit Fresh 3-Years Low - Eyes On Risk Market

The EUR/USD  was flashing red and hit the fresh 3-year low of 1.0655, mainly due to broad-based USD strength. As of writing, the EUR/USD currency pair is currently trading at 1.0764 and consolidates in the range between the 1.0653 - 1.0769.

The currency pair dropped to 1.0653 on Thursday, the lowest level since April 2017, because investors sold everything, also safe havens like Japan's yen and Swiss francs, to transfer their money into greenback due to fears of a coronavirus-led recession in the global economy. 

On the technical side, the overall trend looks bearish with the 5- and 10-day averages trending south and the weekly chart also reporting a bearish crossover between the 100- and 200-week averages and a below-50 reading on the RSI. 

At the time of writing, the EUR/USD pair is trading near 1.0735, representing a 0.40% gain on the day. Whereas China surprisingly kept rates unchanged early Friday, as in result, the Asian equities are flashing green.

GBP/USD - Coronavirus Outbreak Fears & Broad-Based USD Strength

The GBP/USD currency pair flashing green and hit the fresh high of 1.670, representing 1.55% gains on the day because the greenback fell from the 3-year high. The strong stimulus from the U.K. is also helping to improve risk sentiment in the market. The GBP/USD is trading at 1.1662 and consolidates in the range between the 1.1414 - 1.1676. As we all well aware that the pair lost 1,800 pips in the last nine-day, due to multiple uncertainties and broad-based USD strength.

Earlier, the GBP/USD pair fell to the fresh low since 1985 after negative coronavirus reports from the U.S. and the U.K. However, the trading sentiment recovered after because traders appreciated the British Chancellor's upcoming stimulus measure.

However, the reason behind the risk-on market sentiment could also be the Guardian's news that a huge struggle is started to produce a U.K. vaccine for coronavirus to save further lives ahead.
