The euro slid on Tuesday as weak German and eurozone data sparked fears of a slowdown, although demand for the dollar and other safe-haven currencies was curbed after Fitch affirmed the United States' top credit rating. The euro traded above $1.44 while the greenback rose to session highs versus the yen after Fitch Ratings maintained the United States' AAA credit rating, with a stable outlook.
In midday New York trading, the euro was down 0.4 percent versus the dollar at $1.43920, with support at its 100-day moving average around $1.43511. The euro hit a nearly three-week high of $1.44779 on Monday.
