The EUR/USD currency pair has been declining after a continuous consolidation. Quotes have updated key lows. Demand for the euro weakened after the release of weak data on German GDP. At the moment, the key support and resistance levels are 1.11300 and 1.11650, respectively. Today, investors will assess important economic releases from the US.
