TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Currency markets were quiet on Tuesday with most of the majors contained to narrow 30 pip ranges, but the euro was demonstrably weaker as the miss in GDP data only added to market concerns.

The euro slipped to a session low of 1.1355 after EU GDP came in at 1.7% vs. 1.8% eyed a sharp drop off from the 2.2% growth the period prior. This was the weakest reading in 4 years and poses a serious obstacle to ECB’s desire to normalize rates at the start of 2019
