EUR/USD hovers below 1.2400

FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD extended its pullback below the 1.2400 level during the New York session and fell to test the 1.2370 support area, as the greenback picked up momentum following better-than-expected US retail sales and jobless claims numbers.

The decline however, was contained by 1.2370, where the 50% Fibo of 1.2247/1.2494 and the 200-hour SMA converge. At time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at the 1.2395 zone, recording a 0.42% loss on the day.
