The euro strengthened against the dollar yesterday after strong readings on trade and economic growth in the Eurozone helped support the shared currency.
The euro benefited from second-quarter economic growth in the Eurozone, which was revised higher to 0.4%, while trade data showed July was a good month for German exporters.
