EUR/USD drops 70 pips from session highs on the falling probability of the Democrat majority in the House
- The USD is recovering lost ground as the probability of Democratic House continues to slide.
- The EUR/USD has backed off from session highs and is currently trading largely unchanged on the day.
The EUR/USD dropped 70 pips from the session high of 1.1473 to 1.1398 in the last few minutes on the falling probability of the Democrats taking control of the House.
FiveThirtyEight now sees only 50 percent probability of a Democratic House, down substantially from 90 percent probability seen approximately 40 minutes ago. As a result, the greenback, which took a beating earlier today, is on a recovery mode.
A Democrat victory in House is seen constraining Trump administration and is, therefore, being treated as a dollar-negative outcome by markets.
At press time, the EUR/USD is trading at 1.1430.
