EUR/USD settles below 1.0600

FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD has had a quiet American session, consolidating in a slim range after the latest upside attempt - propelled by weak US housing data - was capped by the 1.0650 area.

EUR/USD retreated from the day's high and settled just below 1.0600 over the last hours. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.0590, still up 0.23% on the day, as markets focus turns to the FOMC meeting conclusion.

The Federal Reserve is expected to remove the word 'patient' from its language at tomorrow’s statement, signaling a step forward a rate raise sometime mid-year.

EUR/USD technical levels
