EUR/USD stages short-lived bounce attempt, turns back south

EUR/USD has fallen to fresh monthly lows on Wednesday amid a stronger US dollar, as investors digest yesterday’s strong US CPI and hawkish comments from Fed members.

EUR/USD fell to a low of 1.1255 and even though the pair staged a mild bounce during the European trade, it was short-lived as the 1.1290 zone offered resistance. EUR/USD turned back south and it was last trading around 1.1265, recording a 0.41% loss on the day.

Main attention remains on FOMC meeting minutes to be released at 18:00 GMT as investors wonder whether the Fed is ready to raise rates further as soon as next month or not.
