USA

EURUSD

The pair started the week and continued its serious growth trend, but it could not keep this pace, having stumbled on Thursday. As a result, Euro dropped from the resistance area around 1.0760 almost by a figure.

However, bears did not have enough power later on to accelerate the attack, and EURUSD returned to 1.0450 mark where it started the next-to-last week of the year.
