EUR/USD continues to climb this week

EUR/USD continues to climb this week, as the pair has gained close to 1.0 percent. Currently, the pair is trading at 1.1236, up 0.18%. The pair is currently at its highest level since April 23. German banks are closed for the May Day holiday, so the pair is unlikely to show much movement on Wednesday. In economic news, there are no German or eurozone events. In the U.S., all eyes are on the Federal Reserve, which releases its rate statement. The U.S. will release ADP nonfarm payrolls, which is expected to jump to 181 thousand, after a weak reading of 129 thousand in the previous release. As well, the ISM Manufacturing PMI is expected to drop to 55.0 points. On Thursday, Germany releases manufacturing PMI and retail sales, while the U.S. posts unemployment claims.
