Current trend
On Wednesday, the price of the currency pair EUR/USD has grown considerably. The Unified European currency was supported by positive inflation data in Eurozone. In April this index rose to the level of 0.7% versus 0.5% in March. Although the target level of 2% is still far away, investors hope that deflation is no longer a threat for Eurozone.

Amid this news EUR/USD managed to soar up to the highs of April at the level of 1.3886.
