EURUSD: Unemployment data and impact!
The EUR/USD lost points for the second consecutive day on Thursday, dropping below 1.0900 due to the stronger US dollar, which was driven by robust economic data. In the Eurozone, inflation data was mixed, showing a slowdown in Spain and a recovery in Germany, which was not surprising.
Thursday's data revealed a slight increase in Germany's inflation in June, with the annual rate rising from 6.1% to 6.4%. Analysts have pointed out that the increase is believed to be due to energy and transportation cost cuts, without which inflation would have decreased. Looking at the details, the slowdown in inflation still seems to persist. On Friday, Eurozone Consumer Price Index data will be released. European Central Bank officials have made it clear that interest rate hikes will occur in July, as inflation remains high.
