“Private and government consumption drove euro-area growth in the third quarter, with trade damping economic output. ”

Pair’s Outlook
The Euro opened green against the US Dollar Wednesday morning, after re-entering the channel on the hourly chart, but failing to dive underneath the January low of 1.0709. The pair has had a completely non-volatile session due to a lack of market movers, but could show a small green candle that would bounce from the bottom trend-line of the channel at 1.0734. On the other hand, a break below the newly set floor would mean a slip towards the bottom trend-lie of the channel, as it is the only level of significance on its way. Considering the tight range the pair is currently trading in (1.0709-1.0718) it is hard to tell yet what the day will bring. -
