FXStreet (Córdoba) – EUR/USD came under renewed pressure and broke to fresh lows over the last minutes, with no clear catalyst for the move other than USD buying interest.

However, a string of above expectations US data (ADP, trade balance, ISM services) gave the greenback additional tailwinds ahead of the nonfarm payrolls report on Friday.
EUR/USD fell to its lowest level since early August at 1.0858 and it was last trading 0.87% down at the 1.0865 zone.
