Read moreEUR/USD was trying to extend its rally for yet another day on Friday and has been successful at first. Yet the currency pair halted its advance as of 8:30 GMT and was moving down since, reaching the opening level and attempting to go lower. Whatever the reason for such behavior, it is not US economic data, which was not as good as dollar bulls had hoped for. Personal income and spending rose […]
