EUR/USD recovers from 1.1172 lows

The EUR/USD pair trades -0.17% lower at 1.1187, unable to extend beyond 1.12 barrier. The bid tone around the EUR/USD pair remains intact as the pair remains largely supressed by the weakness in the EUR/GBP cross, after the pound strengthened on BOE rate decision and its minutes.
