The EUR/USD pair is hovering near the 1.0900 mark, gaining ground due to renewed weakness in the US Dollar. The European Central Bank (ECB) hawks are pushing back against early rate cut expectations, offering support to the pair. All eyes are now on ECB President Christine Lagarde and upcoming US data.
