EUR/USD hovers around 1.1300, German labour report in focus

FXStreet (Mumbai) - EUR/USD consolidated to 1.13 handle in the early European session, extending its side-trend from the previous session as traders look for fresh incentives before the release of a series of German macro data.

EUR/USD breaks above 1.1300

The EUR/USD posted fresh session highs at 1.1305 levels some minutes ago and trades now at 1.1291 levels. EUR/USD remains muted as traders remain wary ahead of the crucial German employment data and preliminary inflation report to be released later in the session. Moreover, sliding equities in the UK and Europe post the Fed decision also failed to lift the EUR/USD pair.
