Session Recap: USD reverses losses ahead of US GDP

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The US dollar continued to weaken across the board on Thursday and trades lower versus most competitors. However, ahead of the NY opening, the greenback managed to reverse early losses.

EUR/USD briefly rose above 1.3000 also underpinned by positive eurozone data, while the pound tested 1.5200 before losing steam. USD/JPY bounced from the 100.45 zone, and has climbed over 100 pips within the last hours amid Japan's official comments.

Attention now turns to the US, where a batch of economic indicators, including jobless claims, Q1 GDP revision and pending home sales, are due for release.
