EUR/USD keeps falling on USD strength
The EUR/USD pair trades -0.25% lower at 1.1146, hovering close to fresh session lows reached at 1.1144 in last minutes. The common currency remains offered and broke below the crucial 100-DMA located at 1.1150 versus the US dollar in early moves as markets prefer to hold the risk-currencies such as the greenback amid better risk conditions.
The latest releases of upbeat China manufacturing reports and rallying Asian indices continue to boost the global sentiment and thus diminish the bids for safe-haven/ funding currency in the euro.
Later in the day, a raft of final manufacturing PMI reports from across the Euro zone economies will dominate the otherwise quiet EUR calendar, with limited impact expected on the major.
