Forex: EUR/USD remains capped below 1.3550

After briefly dipping below the 1.3500 level to hit a low of 1.3493, the euro managed to trim losses against the greenback, although the recovery was capped by the 1.3545 area. This way, the EUR/USD was confined to a range and a consolidation phase as investors refrain from taking big positions ahead of the ECB meeting.

At time of writing, EUR/USD is trading around 1.3530, still down 0.4% on the day. On a broader view however, the pair remains in consolidation after rejection from 1.3710 was contained by 1.3460 on Tuesday.
