By FXStreet FXStreet (Edinburgh) – The single currency is extending its upbeat tone during the first half of the week, now pushing EUR/USD to fresh daily tops around 1.1390.

Still in Germany, the ZEW Survey is due next. Prior estimates expect the indicator to come in on the softer side during the current month. In the same direction, EMU’s Economic Sentiment is seen easing to 30.1 from 33.3.
