EUR/USD lacks momentum in quiet trade
FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD has been confined to a narrow range on Wednesday as the dollar trades mixed against major rivals in low volume ahead of the New Year celebrations.
EUR/USD edged a tad higher after briefly falling below the 1.0900 mark and testing support at the 20-day SMA the previous day. However, bounce attempts have remained capped by the 1.0940 zone so far, with the pair unable to gather momentum either side of the board. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.0930, 0.11% above its opening price.
On the data front, US pending home sales index and EIA weekly oil status report will be released during the New York session.
