EUR/USD turns negative at 1.1090

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The single currency is giving away initial gains on Thursday and sending EUR/USD back to sub-1.1100 levels.

EUR/USD focus on EMU data

Ahead in the session, preliminary prints from manufacturing and services PMIs in Euroland are coming next followed by the ECB Accounts and the speech by President Mario Draghi. Across the pond, the usual weekly report on the US labour market will precede the Philly Fed Survey and Existing Home Sales.
