FxWirePro: EUR/USD pressured by firmer dollar, easing of N.Korea tensions, scope for further downside

• The EUR /USD pair declined on Wednesday as the dollar edged higher on the back of robust U.S. economic data and an easing in tensions over North Korea.
   
• The dollar maintained its strong stance, seeming to shrug off data on Wednesday showing U.S. housing starts and permits were down sharply in July.
   
• U.S.homebuilding unexpectedly fell in July amid broad declines in single- and multi-family home construction, suggesting the housing market was struggling to rebound after slumping in the second quarter.
   
• Housing starts declined 4.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.16 million units, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday.
   
• Investors were also anticipating minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting due later in the day.
   
• The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.1770 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
   
• To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.1726, a break above this level would expose the pair to next resistance level at 1.1770.
   
• To the downside, immediate support can be seen at 1.1680, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.1625.
