  • The EUR/USD inched higher on Tuesday as the single currency gained as investors awaited cues on the path of interest rate hikes in the United States ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's testimony on Wednesday.
     
  • Trading volumes were below June's average daily turnover as traders were on the sidelines ahead of Janet Yellen’s testimony.
     
  • Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen starts two days of testimony on Wednesday as it prepares to unwind the massive hoard of bonds it bought to ease the financial crisis.
     
  • Further upside in this pair is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong resistance at 1.1462 which should limit further upside and bring decline towards lower levels in the short term.
