EUR/USD consolidates below 1.1000
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The shared currency shaved-off previous gains and trades mildly in the red versus the US dollar in the early European trades, with EUR/USD facing rejection just shy of 1.10 barrier. The major edged lower, correcting heavy gains seen on Thursday after markets continued to cheer Greek vote while ignoring solid jobs data from the US.
EUR/USD drops from 1.0994
The EUR/USD pair trades -0.09% lower at 1.0976, from retracing from 1.0994 highs. The major keeps moderate losses as traders now eagerly await a series of services and manufacturing PMIs from the euro area economies due later today after a data-quiet week so far.
On Thursday, the European currency jumped above 1.1000 levels against the US dollar, reaching its weekly high as investors responded to the Greek approval of the second set of bailout reforms while many traders resorted to squaring-off their EUR shorts after the recent drop in EUR/USD to 1.08 levels early this week.
Looking ahead, markets await Euro zone PMIs ahead of US new home sales and manufacturing PMI report later in the US session.
EUR/USD Technical Levels
The pair has an immediate resistance at 1.0994 (Today’s High) levels, above which gains could be extended to 1.1019 (July 23 High) levels. On the flip side, support is seen at 1.0920 (July 23 Low) below which it could extend losses to 1.0869 (July 22 Low) levels.
