On Tuesday, the evergreen buck along with the common currency moved up versus the Japanese yen, spurred by diverging outlooks for economic surge as well as tighter monetary policy.

EUR/USD decreased 0.27%, reaching 1.0894, having achieved 1.1021 on Monday, which is the highest value since early November.
