Investing.com – The euro extended early losses, falling to hit a fresh daily low against the U.S. dollar on Monday, after disappointing PMI data.
EUR/USD hit 1.2660 during European afternoon trade, a fresh daily low; the pair subsequently consolidated at 1.2663 shedding 0.35%.
The pair was likely to find support at 1.2664, last Friday's low and resistance at 1.2902, last Thursday's high.
Earlier in the day, data showed that the euro zones manufacturing PMI fell more-than-expected in August while the services PMI declined in line with expectations.
The data added to fears sparked by Bundesbank President Axel Weber, who said on Friday that the European Central Bank would be "wise" not to change the bank's policy of providing unlimited liquidity to euro zone banks before early 2011.
The euro was also down against the pound, with EUR/GBP shedding 0.30% to hit 0.8157.
Also Monday, official data showed that euro zone consumer confidence fell less-than-expected in July.
