The Euro (EUR) remains practically flat against the US Dollar (USD) on Monday, holding steady around 1.1865 at the time of writing. Trading volumes have remained subdued in Asia, with holidays in Japan and most Asian countries, and Wall Street will also be closed for President’s Day.
The pair appreciated about 0.4% last week, but failed to draw any significant support on Friday, after the release of softer-than-expected US Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures, which allowed the Federal Reserve (Fed) to ease borrowing costs further, to boost a stalled labour market.
In the Eurozone, on Monday, Industrial Production is expected to show a significant decline in December and might provide some guidance for the pair ahead of a busy data week. The weekly economic calendar includes the release of the Fed’s latest meeting minutes, business activity figures from the US and the EU, and the key US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index.
