FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The shared currency is alternating gains with losses vs. the greenback, taking EUR/USD to the 1.1215/20 area so far.
EUR/USD supported at 1.1200
The pair’s daily decline seems to have found decent support around 1.1200 the figure so far, now attempting a rebound to the 1.1220 region following the poor releases in the US docket.
In fact, Markit’s Services PMI, ISM Non-manufacturing and the Fed’s Labor Market Conditions Index have all disappointed expectations for the month of September, somehow limiting today’s USD upside momentum.
