# Euro loses momentum as US Dollar regains footing after election-led volatility

> EUR/USD fell back toward 1.1220 on Thursday as the US Dollar recovered from a post-election sell-off. Lower US jobless claims and hawkish Fed comments supported the Greenback, with markets pricing in a possible December rate hike.
