Limited movement in EUR/USD as European and German PMIs soften – MP

Key Quotes
“On the release front, Eurozone PMI data disappointed, as Eurozone and German data weakened in November. On a bright note, French PMIs showed slight improvement. In the US, it’s busy day, with three key indicators – Core Retail Sales, Retail Sales and Unemployment Claims. Any unexpected readings from these events could translate into some volatility from EUR/USD.”
“EUR/USD was flat in the Asian session. The pair has been choppy in the European session, testing support at 1.2518.”
“1.2518 remains a weak support line. 1.2407 is stronger.”
“1.2688 is a strong resistance line.”
