FXStreet (Córdoba) – EUR/USD is taking a breather near recent highs after the steep rally triggered by the FOMC policy meeting found interim resistance at the 1.1430 zone.
USD pressured by Fed
EUR/USD has climbed more than 150 pips over the last sessions and stretched to a fresh 1-month high of 1.1427 at the beginning of the New York session as the dollar weakened further on the back of softer-than-expected US CPI figures (0.4% vs 0.5% exp in May). Yesterday, the Federal Reserve reiterated that higher consumer prices was one of the necessary conditions before it would raise interest rates.
