The currency pair EUR/USD managed to ascend by 0.26% reaching 1.1633 because German and French business activity in June turned out to be higher than anticipated, relieving worries of a slowdown in the European Union.

The duties have backed tensions because market participants are afraid of a probable fierce global trade conflict between America as well as other key countries.
