EUR/USD keeps the red near 1.0850
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The shared currency remains on the back footing vs. the greenback, taking EUR/USD to the vicinity of 1.0850 so far.
EUR/USD supported at 1.0850
The effects of yesterday’s comments by Fed’s Lockhart continue to weigh on the demand for the single currency on Wednesday, relegating spot to trade in a narrow range in the mid-1.0800s.
In the meantime, market participants are waiting for the ADP Employment report due later, with consensus seeing the US economy to have added 215K jobs during last month. Further data will see the ISM Non-manufacturing and Trade Balance figures.
EUR/USD key levels
As of writing the pair is retreating 0.19% at 1.0861 and a break below 1.0848 (low Aug.4) would open the door to 1.0811 (low Jul.11) and finally 1.0789 (low Apr.24). On the flip side, the initial up barrier aligns at 1.0990 (high Aug.4) followed by 1.1080 (high Jul.29) and then 1.1113 (high Jul.31).
