The euro traded higher against the U.S. dollar after the release of the positive economic data from the Eurozone. The ZEW Center for European Economic Research released its economic sentiment index for Germany and the Eurozone on Tuesday. Germany's ZEW economic sentiment index increased to 11.2 in April from 4.3 in March, exceeding expectations for a rise to 8.0.

"Surprisingly positive economic news from China seem to have improved the sentiment amongst financial market experts. On balance, however, the continued poor growth in China and other important emerging markets continues to be a burden for the German export industry. Furthermore, concern about Great Britain's possible exit from the EU seems to be having a negative impact," head of the "International Finance and Financial Management" Research Department at ZEW, Sascha Steffen, said.

Eurozone's ZEW economic sentiment index climbed to 21.5 in April from 10.6 in March, beating expectations for a decline to 8.8.
