EUR/USD failed to break 1.27 and retreated
FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/USD touched 1.2697 high in Asia, before retreating to current 1.2670 area in early Europe.
The just released German Wholesale Price Index came out worse than expected at -0.9% y/y vs -0.7% y/y, and it only confirmed still weak price pressure within the largest European economy. We have already seen a series of disappointing results out of Germany, and if this trend is confirmed in the nearest months, it will put the ECB under additional pressure to ease the monetary policy further. The more investors price-in such scenario, the larger downside potential the euro may have.
