EUR/USD Back Below 1.1500
EUR/USD failed
to sustain intraday gains and slid back below the 1.1500 level as the
advance triggered by disappointing ADP data quickly faded.
EUR/USD
retreated more than 100 pips from an 8-month high of 1.1615 over the
last sessions, but found support at the 100-hour SMA in recent dealings
With the downside contained by 1.1465, the pair was last trading around
1.1490, virtually unchanged on Wednesday.
On the data front, ADP
reported US private sector created 156K new jobs in April, below the
196K expected, while on the other hand ISM Non-manufacturing, Makit’s
Services PMI and Trade Balance all surpassed expectations.
