EUR/USD falls through 1.1000

EUR/USD  edged lower on Friday, but overall continues to trade within its recent range around the 1.10 mark, unable to set fresh near-term direction.

EUR/USD came under mild pressure during the New York session and dropped through the 1.10 level to hit a low of 1.0994 in recent dealings. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.0999, down 0.23% on the day.

On Thursday, the ECB said they will like to see more information before deciding on new measures as the euro area markets are responding with “encouraging resilience” to the Brexit. After the volatile reaction to ECB decision, the pair entered a quieter phase, but is facing some pressure ahead of the weekend.

Upbeat US data supported the greenback, with the Markit manufacturing PMI out at 52.9 in July, above the 51.6 expected.
