Fundamental Forecast for Euro: Bullish EUR/USD climbs to fresh 2017-highs even as the European Central Bank (ECB) sticks to its current policy, with the pair at risk of extending the advance from earlier this month should key data prints coming out of the U.S. economy continue dampen expectations for three Fed rate-hikes in 2017.

The US dollar’s selloff accelerated. It has been selling off since the start of the year. The first phase of the decline at the start of the year seemed similar to what happened at the start of 2016.
