EUR/USD looks weak below 1.1800

EUR/USD has slipped back under pressure, breaking through the 1.1800 support and drifting towards the weekly lows near 1.1770 ahead of the opening bell in Asia.

Moving forward, the release of the German labour market report and flash inflation figures should keep European investors entertained on Friday.

In the meantime, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to limit the downside potential for now.
