Forex - EUR/USD slides lower after IMF quits Greek debt talks

The euro slid lower against the U.S. dollar on Friday, as concerns over a potential Greek default grew stronger after the International Monetary Fund chose to leave negotiations and as demand for the greenback remained supported ahead of upcoming U.S. data.

EUR/USD hit 1.1218 during late Asian trade, the session low; the pair subsequently consolidated at 1.1224, shedding 0.28%.
