EUR/USD is trading lower Tuesday and the slide may deepen as influences from China's yuan and U.S. interest rates hold sway for now.

The euro and China's yuan are typically correlated in that they move in the same direction against the U.S. dollar.

Investor concerns that China's economy may be faltering is driving yuan selling.

yields remain elevated as investors increasingly expect the Fed to remain higher for longer.

As a result, the dollar's yield advantage over the euro is increasing again.
With this, U.S.-German two year spreads US2DE2=RR are trending wider in the dollar's favor.

Key U.S. data risks are in focus.
July ISM services PMI, ADP, CPI and payrolls are due.
Upbeat data should buoy U.S. rates and the dollar.
