EUR Futures: door open for further retracements

In light of advanced data for EUR futures markets from CME Group, investors added around 11.7K contracts to their open interest positions on Thursday, clinching the second build in a row. Volume, instead, remains volatile and shrunk by around 307.2K contracts, the largest single day drop so far this year.
