EUR/USD edges lower after German CPI
FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD remained pretty steady around 1.0900 following the release of softer-than-expected German inflation data.
The German Consumer price index, harmonized for the Eurozone, was flat in December versus a 0.2% increase expected and rose 0.2% YoY versus 0.4% of consensus.
The euro however, barely reacted to data, although it edged a few pips lower, sliding below the 1.0900 level to a low of 1.0885 in recent dealings. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.0890, still up 0.19% on the day.
