EUR/USD falls below 1.1000 at the end of the first quarter of 2020

The end of the quarter has caused a volatile session in the currency market, increasing demand for the USD. Due to this, the EUR/USD fell below 1.1000, a key support to determine the trend.

The US dollar moves higher against major currencies and emerging currencies in the session on Tuesday, breaking a week of declines, as investors prepare for prolonged uncertainty and governments proceed to tighten the containment rules to fight against coronavirus pandemic.

Efficient Market – What is it, Definition and Concept
