U.S. economic growth slowed in the fourth quarter as previously reported, with robust consumer spending offset by downward revisions to business and government investment. Gross domestic product rose at a 1.9 percent annual rate in the final three months of 2016, the Commerce Department said on Tuesday in its second estimate for the period. That matched the estimate published last month. Output increased at a 3.5 percent rate in the third quarter.

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the pair around current level appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term.
