EUR/USD a tad weaker on German data

By FXStreet FXStreet (Edinburgh) – The single currency remains in session lows vs. the dollar on Wednesday, with EUR/USD around 1.1235/30 band so far.

EUR/USD softer post-data

The pair is losing further ground after German retail sales have disappointed investors during August, contracting at a monthly pace of 0.4% and taking the annual expansion to 2.5%, vs. forecasts at 0.2% and 3.1%, respectively.

Spot is coming down from overnight tops around 1.1260, trading within the recent range ahead of today’s critical inflation figures in the euro area. Following yesterday’s softer-than-expected Spanish and German CPI, markets expectations see core CPI rising 0.9% on a year to September, matching August’s reading.

EUR/USD levels to watch
