EUR/USD hits 1.1400 amid Greek headlines

FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD jumped to 1.1400 and scored a fresh 6-day high at the beginning of the New York session as the euro benefitted from a report suggesting Greece is getting an extension of the emergency liquidity assistance (ELA), which the ECB authorized as a temporary expedient when it stopped accepting Greek bonds as collateral for funding last week.

EUR/USD peaked at 1.1400, also supported by a weaker USD following a retail sales miss, but lacked follow-through to break above the psychological level and pulled back. At time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at 1.1370, still up 0.35% on the day.
