EUR weakens as bond yields hit record lows

The shared currency weakened across the board as the bond yields in the Eurozone hit record lows. The German 10-year yield fell to a record low of 0.198% earlier today. The German yield curve sees negative yields on bonds till 7-year maturity.

Meanwhile, Draghi’s comments today did little to support the single currency. The pair could drop below 1.06 levels if the bond yields across the Eurozone continue to hit record lows.

The pair has an immediate resistance located at 1.0636, above which gains could be extended to 1.0664 levels. On the other hand, the pair could drop to 1.0550 levels if it sustains below 1.06.
