EUR/USD finds support ahead of 1.1150

FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD bounced off fresh 1-month lows and managed to trim intraday losses to trade nearly flat on the day at the beginning of the American session.

EUR/USD reached a daily high of 1.1211 following strong German retail sales data, but failed to hold gains and quickly fell to a fresh 5-week low of 1.1154, before finding support. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.1170, just a few pips below its opening price.

With only second-tier data scheduled for the rest of the day, investors will likely remain cautious ahead of the ECB meeting on Thursday and the NFP report on Friday.
