EUR/AUD on trading range below 1.4330 and EMA20

FXstreet.com (Chicago) - EUR/AUD trades sideways ahead of Tokyo’s opening and European consumer confidence data due later in the day.

Even battle?

Closing the week, the euro went back to Monday’s trading zone to accumulate 0.02% minimal gains after a series of ups and downs all throughout. Earlier European data indicates the Euro-zone is still recovering at a slow pace with consumer price indexes matching expected 1.1% growth and trade balances worse than expected. On positive Zew survey results released on Tuesday at 58.6 vs. expected 47.2 economic sentiment projections, the euro spiked, reversing the short-term downward trendline.
