Flirts with hourly 100-MA
The pair is hovering around its hourly 100-MA located at 1.1171, unable to extend gains above the same after the data in Germany showed the number of unemployed in May fell by 1K, compared to the estimate of a 5K drop.

The action in the Eurozone bond markets – sharp rise in the Greek yields and weakness in German yields – also added to the bearish pressure on the EUR. It remains to be seen if the pair manages to recover losses and strengthen today, after having filled the gap witnessed on Monday.
