EUR/USD in flat-lining around 1.0950

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The European currency extends its overnight side-trend against the US dollar in to the European opening bells, with EUR/USD keeping range near the mid-point of 1.09 handle, as EUR traders continue to digest the recent reports of European outlook downgraded by S & P amid lack of fresh fundamentals heading in to a data-dry European session.

EUR/USD capped below 1.10 handle

The EUR/USD pair trades modestly flat at 1.0945, around a flat line awaiting fresh cues. The EUR/USD pair is seen oscillating in a tight band locked in a 20-pips range as the European currency consolidates previous losses following European Union outlook downgrade from stable to negative by S & P ratings agency.

The main currency pair also ignored downbeat US ISM manufacturing data released on Monday as markets preferred to hold the US currency ahead of a heavy US economic calendar this week.

Meanwhile, markets now turn their attention towards US factory orders data due later in the New York session in absence of any significant data releases in the EUR calendar ahead.

EUR/USD Technical Levels

The pair has an immediate resistance at 1.0992 (July 30 High) levels, above which gains could be extended to 1.1019 (July 23 High) levels. On the flip side, support is seen at 1.0920 (July 31 Low) below which it could extend losses to 1.0892 (July 30 Low) levels.
