Daily Forex review of EUR/USD

 

Economic news

During the early trading session today, the euro continues its decline which started in the very early hours of Thursday. The single currency reversed its original gains accumulated yesterday as the US post fiscal cliff status takes effect.

The euro’s lower trading against the dollar is attributed to the recovery of the American currency from its instant losses, after US lawmakers reached a compromise fiscal cliff deal.

The pair was trading at 1.3163, down 0.20% to its opening price of 1.3188 at the time of writing this report.

Looking further in the day, a market influence on the single currency from inside the Eurozone is likely to come from the release of Germany’s unemployment figures for December. Marketers anticipate that the figure will remain almost untouched at 5.9%, compared to the previous one.

A significant influence is expected to come from the minutes of the December Federal Reserve meeting as market makers are more interested in this data.
