The US Dollar has been in an uptrend in the last two weeks. The FED FOMC meeting minutes yesterday gave the bulls an additional reason to be more confident and they took the Buck higher. The unemployment claims were close to expectations which brushes off any worries from last week´s 50K miss.  The headline of the Philly FED business outlook came out negative but if you looked closer into the details they weren´t so bad. 

EUR/USD finds itself about 130 pips higher from yesterday´s opening price
