EUR/USD muted on German data, near 1.0580
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The shared currency is retreating marginally vs. the greenback at the beginning of the week, taking EUR/USD to the 1.0580/75 band so far.
EUR/USD ignores German data
The pair kept the composure following the German releases, where Retail Sales have contracted 0.4% from September to October; over the last twelve months, sales have expanded 2.1%.
While market participants are looking at Thursday’s ECB meeting as the critical event for EUR, November’s preliminary inflation figures in Germany will also grab some attention ahead in the session.
EUR/USD levels to watch
As of writing the pair is losing 0.08% at 1.0585 with the next support at 1.0519 (low Apr.13) en route to 1.0500 (psychological level) and then 1.0456 (2015 low Mar.16). On the upside, a breakout of 1.0829 (high Nov.12) would aim for 1.1025 (55-day sma) and finally 1.1043 (200-day sma).
