The EUR/USD pair has remained flat at around the 1.3535 level in today's trading. This happened after the FOMC meeting on 18 Sept wherein no QE tapering announcement was made, which weakened the greenback and gave the euro and other currencies a big boost against it.
After reaching a high above 1.3560, the pair fell below 1.3520 during yesterday’s US trading session. It then managed to get back up to just below the 1.3540 zone and has stayed there since.
There are no major movements expected from the pair today due to the lack of any significant reports or data. Germany, however, will hold its federal elections on Sunday, which may have an impact on the euro next week.
