The euro had a positive day on Wednesday as it gained against both the US dollar and sterling, thanks to preliminary consumer price index data for Germany coming out at 0.3% – compared to the expected figure of 0.1%.
Today, unemployment figures from Germany are expected to remain at last month’s figure of 6.2%. Any deviation on this will likely end up in more euro strength which could ensure another strong week for the single currency – particularly against sterling as the euro continues to push closer to fresh 15 month highs.
