EUR/USD keeps losses around 1.1045, ECB in focus

FXStreet (Mumbai) - EUR/USD halted its downfall and steadied in the mid-European session, recovering from lows after Germany factory orders data missed estimates, while traders eye European Central Bank meeting later in the day for fresh incentives.

EUR/USD bounces from 1.1027 levels

The EUR/USD now trades lower by -0.28% at 1.1046 levels, retracing from the lowest levels since Set 2003 at 1.1027 levels. EUR/USD remains under pressure as traders await ECB press conference, where the central bank Chief Draghi is expected to outline the details of the bond purchasing stimulus program it announced in January.

Traders are also likely to assess the updated macroeconomic forecasts including GDP growth and CPI released by ECB for further insights on the economic condition of the Euro area.

EUR/USD tumbled to fresh twelve lows as downbeat German data exerted further pressure on the euro. Moreover, a broadly stronger US dollar continues to weigh on the main currency pair.
