The euro was moving slowly higher in early forex trading this morning (July 21st) after being pushed to a ten-week high against the dollar yesterday.
The currency has tested $1.3000 for three days in a row now, although some analysts anticipate profit taking to weigh on a putative rally.
Speaking to Reuters, Tsutomu Soma, senior manager of the foreign securities department at Okasan Securities, said: "Players want to trim long euro positions as they have kept buying euros since early June."
However, he added: "Many continue to bet the euro will remain on an upward trend, partly due to the dollar's weakness."
Two key upcoming developments are driving trading in the EUR/USD currency pair, with the testimony of Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke before the Senate Banking Committee providing a focus for today.
However, forex brokers are also looking ahead to the results of the European banking stress tests, which are due to be published after markets close on Friday.
