On Thursday the 26th of December, the euro 11 points up (1.1096) at the close of trading. There was no news to explain the recovery in price. Rising global stock indices and the general weakening of the dollar after Christmas helped to strengthen risky assets. These include the euro. Stock indices set new historic highs amid optimism in US-Chinese relations. Trump says the trade agreement is being translated into Chinese and will be concluded in early January 2020.
