EUR/USD remains capped below 1.1400, awaits fresh impetus

By FXStreet The EUR/USD pair continues to trade around a flat-line amid poor risk environment, awaiting from the Euro zone industrial figure due tomorrow.

EUR/USD trades below daily R1 at 1.1401

Currently, EUR/USD trades 0.12% higher at 1.1387, easing-off fresh session tops reached at 1.1397 post-European open. The shared currency trades absolutely directionless in a 15-pips extremely narrow range against its American counterpart, with EUR/USD failing every attempt to reclaim 1.14 barrier. Meanwhile, the US dollar drops further to 94 handle, down -0.21% on the day.

While Thursday’s BOE monetary policy decision and minutes are expected to have significant impact on the EUR/GBP cross, in turn influencing EUR/USD.
