EUR/USD off lows after mixed US data

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The EUR/USD saw a short-lived bounce at the beginning of the New York session after the latest string of US data came in mixed.

While the US Markit services PMI came in stronger-than-expected in January, December's new home sales disappointed and the Dallas Fed manufacturing index came in in line with forecast. The EUR/USD barely reacted to the data, moving off lows to an hourly high of 1.3675 where the 55-hour SMA halted the recovery.
