EUR/USD at six-day lows
Currently,
EUR/USD trades modestly flat at fresh session highs of 1.1408, making
another attempt towards 1.15 handle. The main currency is seen
consolidating the downside as dust settles over the NFP aftermath, with
the major catching fresh bid tone in recent dealings amid broad based US
dollar retreat.
The greenback wiped-out gains against its major
competitors and now trades muted, underpinning the recovery in EUR/USD.
Moreover, mixed market sentiment amid higher oil prices and subdued
Asian equities also lifts the safe-haven bids for the EUR.
Meanwhile,
focus turns towards the German factory orders data amid a data-dry
trading calendar today. Besides the Euro group meetings will be closely
watched for any news on EU referendum ahead of the US LMCI release.
