EUR/USD consolidating slightly above 1.1200

By FXStreet EUR/USD has remained steady during the American session, consolidating modest losses and holding above 1.1200. The pair is falling for the third day in a row but still trades significantly above the level it had before the FED statement and decision of last Wednesday.

A stronger greenback across the board pushed to pair to the downside on Tuesday. It bottomed at 1.1187, but then bounced to the upside. The recovery from the lows found resistance at 1.1235/40 from where EUR/USD bounced back toward 1.1200.

Despite falling against the US dollar, the euro is the top performer among European currencies and it is posting marginal gains against the yen.
