EUR/USD trades near 27-week low, below 1.23 handle

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The common currency resumed its slide against the greenback, trading close to 27 week lows after Germany posted dismal industrial activity numbers, missing industry estimates.

The EUR/USD pair trades lower at 1.2279, after having hit a day’s low of 1.2276 levels immediately after Germany’s data release. The pair witnessed sharp falls after industrial production in euro zone’s economic powerhouse increased mere 0.2% in the reported month, after reporting a revised 1.1% growth in the previous month.

Friday’s robust US jobs data has also dragged the Euro down to 2 year low.
