EUR/USD is trading near the 1.0700 level. Today, traders focused on the Euro Area Retail Sales report, which showed that Euro Area Retail Sales remained unchanged in April, compared to analyst consensus of +0.2%.

In case EUR/USD settles below 1.0700, it will get to the test of the support at 1.0670. A move below 1.0670 will push EUR/USD towards the support level at 1.0635.
