During today's Asian trading, the US dollar rose against the euro and declined against the yen.
"The euro is falling for three reasons: economic recovery, fiscal support for this recovery, and vaccination," analysts at Commerzbank said.
The market is betting on a rapid recovery in the US economy thanks to the economic support plan promoted by US President Joe Biden and the rapid vaccination against the COVID-19 coronavirus. Meanwhile, a new outbreak in Europe and slower vaccination rates threaten to slow the economic recovery.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Joe Biden on Wednesday will unveil the first part of his infrastructure investment plan totaling more than $3 trillion.
