Forex - EUR/USD gains on mixed U.S. data, solid European factory gauge
The Fed holds a policy two-day meeting that wraps up Wednesday, with markets unsure if the U.S.
central bank will determine the economy has strengthened to the point to begin scaling back bond
purchases, which weaken the dollar to spur recovery.
In U.S. trading on Monday, EUR/USD was up 0.14% at 1.3761, up from a session low of 1.3729 and
off from a high of 1.3798.
The pair was likely to find support at 1.3695, the low from Dec. 9, and resistance at 1.3811,
Wednesday's high.
London-based market research group Markit reported earlier that its preliminary U.S.
manufacturing purchasing managers index declined to a seasonally adjusted 54.4 in December
from a final reading of 54.7 in November.
Analysts were expecting the index to rise to 54.9 this month.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported earlier that its Empire State manufacturing index
came in at 0.98 in December compared to November's -2.21 reading, though analysts were
expecting the index to rise to 4.75.
USD/JPY hit session lows of 102.65, down from Fridays five year highs of 103.91, and was last
down 0.22% to 102.98.
Investors remained cautious ahead of the outcome of the Feds upcoming policy meeting on
Wednesday, with some expecting the bank to announce a small reduction in the pace of its USD85
billion-a-month asset purchase program.
EUR/USD hit session highs of 1.3798, and was last up 0.30% to 1.3782, near the two month peak of
1.3809 struck last Wednesday
