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.

It should be noted that we are on the last day of the first quarter of 2020, which means that the investment portfolios will be balanced, which is expected to support the dollar. Demand for the dollar was evident in the Asian session and could have been the cause of a sharp drop in the Australian and New Zealand dollars.
