EUR/USD falters ahead of 1.2550
FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD moved off daily highs and gave up ground, weighed by cross action and a strong drop in Eurozone construction output.

EUR/USD backed away from daily highs but it continues to clinch above 1.2500 ahead of FOMC minutes to be published at 19:00 GMT. The shared currency hit an hourly low of 1.2523 in recent dealings, and it is currently trading at 1.2538, virtually unchanged on the day.
