EUR/USD weighed by US data
EUR/USD moved lower on the data, sliding from 1.3050 toward the 1.3015 zone to hit its lowest since mid European session. However, reaction was shy compared to yesterday's moves when Fed Chairman comments crashed the greenback.
At time of writing, EUR/USD is trading around 1.3020, still 0.3% above its opening price, but well off its peak of 1.3204 scored early Asian session. Immediate supports are now seen at 1.3000 (psychological level) and the 1.2940/30 zone, while resistances could be faced at 1.3080 and 1.3145 (intraday levels) ahead of 1.3204 (daily high).
