EUR/USD hits fresh lows ahead of Fed statement

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The US dollar gained momentum across the board and pushed EUR/USD to fresh daily lows. The pair broke below 1.1025 and dropped to 1.1008, reaching the lowest level since Monday’s Asian session.

EUR/USD unable to recover

The euro is also falling against the pound and the Swiss franc. EUR/USD was unable to recover ground. Earlier the pair attempted to rise but it found resistance below 1.1060, where the hourly 20-SMA currently stands.

Volatility is increasing modestly as traders await the Fed statement. The central bank is expected to leave monetary policy unchanged but traders will look into the statement to see what could happen in the next meeting.

The words of the Fed today could impact largely the EUR/USD. So far the pair is headed toward the second daily decline in a row as it continues to pull back after rising from 1.0810 (July 21 low) to 1.1128 (July 27 high).
