EUR/USD makes fresh daily lows
FXStreet (Córdoba) - The EUR/USD moved a step lower and printed fresh daily lows early New York session, weighed by renewed geopolitical tensions and solid US data.
While US GDP and jobless claims beat expectations, recent data showed pending home sales dropped 2.7% in July versus a 3.5% fall expected. However, USD reaction has been subdued as investors' attention turns to tomorrow’s Eurozone inflation figures as according to sources, it could prompt the ECB to announce easing measures next week should they point to growing deflation pressures.
At time of writing, the EUR/USD is trading at 1.3168, recording a 0.18% loss on the day, having been rejected by the 1.3220 zone.
