Forex: EUR/USD breaks below 1.3080, 2-week low

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) – The Euro came under pressure across the board and reached fresh 2-week lows against the Dollar. EUR/USD failed to hold above 1.3100, broke below 1.3080 and fell to 1.3055, new low.

The EUR/USD is poised to test the 1.3050 low according to Fan Yang, Chief Technical Strategist at FXTimes. “As the market nears 1.3050, we should anticipate a pullback before anticipating a break below”.

Greenback gained momentum across the board in the last hours approaching to session highs against commodity currencies and trimming losses versus the Swiss Franc and the Pound.
