The consolidation in EUR/USD continues to be present in the currency's early European trading today. The pair is now 1.0904 after yesterday's bullish attempt to climb higher failed due to not enough strength in yesterday's US data.
Durable Goods Orders turned out to be non-event and market participants witnessed only a slight reaction to the upside at 1.0942. After the initial boost, the pair lost momentum and fell to pre-event levels. Today is the fifth consecutive day of lite volume trading for the pair, as it has been holding to levels around 1.09 since the beginning of the week.
However, we have one more chance to see volatility today with the latest high impact US GDP data. Expectations are that the US GDP for Q3 will be 2.4%, prior to 1.4%.
If the data is positive, then we can expect a sharp drop in the pair that could lead us to levels around 1.0820. On the other hand, a disappointing report would help bulls to gain control and push prices higher.
