Session Recap: USD mixed, EUR weighed by PMI data

FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The USD trades mixed versus majors, and the euro is broadly lower as disappointing manufacturing PMI’s added to uncertainty following German elections put the shared currency under pressure.

EUR/USD remains stuck in the 1.3500-50 range where it has been trading over the last three sessions, while other euro crosses such as EUR/GBP and EUR/JPY are at lows of the day. Meanwhile, GBP/USD climbed to daily highs above 1.6050 and USD/JPY is trading just below the 99.00 mark.

Elsewhere, European markets are mixed while US futures point for a positive opening amid a light data calendar.
