EUR/USD falls to lowest level since September 2003

FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD broke below January's floor and printed fresh 11-year lows during the American session as the greenback strengthened versus European counterparts, supported by better-than-expected ISM services data.

EUR/USD broke below the 1.1100/1.1097 support area and accelerated to a low of 1.1061, so far. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.1075, recording a 0.89% loss on the day.

The euro has been under pressure this week, making lower lows on a daily basis, despite strong Eurozone data. On Thursday, the European Central Bank will meet. Although no new measures are expected, Mario Draghi’s press conference at 13:30 GMT will be closely followed for details of the bond-buying programme (QE) announced in January.
