The EUR to USD exchange rate rallied in yesterday’s trading and the greenback receive mixed results against other currencies. Meanwhile, after being spotted in the gaining side of the trading spectrum, the US dollar index fell in the latter half of the trading.
News from the Eurozone and Germany supported the euro in yesterday’s rally. The EU to USD exchange rate went up by 0.16% or 0.0018 points in sessions.
The pair have also reached levels between $1.1022 and $1.1060 in Wednesday’s trading. The biggest factor for the gains of the EUR to the USD exchange rate is still the Brexit divorce coming this October 31.

Still, the EUR to the USD exchange rate is expected to react to the developments of the Brexit negotiations until the end of the week. Both the UK and EU want to seal a deal during the EU Summit on Thursday and Friday.
