FXStreet (Edinburgh) – EUR/USD is now testing the key level at 1.0900 the figure after climbing as high as 1.0950 in early trade.
EUR/USD focus on German CPI
The single currency has seen its upside renewed at the beginning of the year following an increasing sentiment towards the risk aversion along with a softer tone in the greenback, which has shed part of last week’s important advance.
On the data front, final December manufacturing PMIs in the euro region came in mixed, albeit both Germany and the EMU has registered improvements from the previous month. Still in the region, German flash inflation figures for the last month are due later, where consensus sees consumer prices advancing 0.6% on a year to December.
