EUR/USD in red on data

The pair kept the negative bias today after the US GDP figures have bettered previous estimates, showing the US economy has expanded at an annualized pace of 1.4% during the last three months of the last year, vs. forecasts at 1.0%.

These results somewhat confirm the ongoing rally in the dollar, bolstered further by expectations of another rate hike by the Fed at its next meeting in April.
