The EUR/USD pair trades in negative territory for the third consecutive day around 1.0310 during the early European session on Thursday. The downbeat German November Factory Orders and the expectation of aggressive rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB) this year weigh on the Euro (EUR) against the Greenback. Later on Thursday, the Eurozone Retail Sales for November and the Fedspeak will be in focus.
German Factory Orders sank lower unexpectedly in November, with the figure falling by 5.4% MoM in November, compared to a decline of 1.5% in the previous reading, the Federal Statistics Office of Germany reported Wednesday. This figure came in weaker than the 0% expected. The weaker-than-expected economic data from Germany, the bloc's largest economy, exerts some selling pressure on the shared currency.
The US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials saw the need for a careful approach in the upcoming quarter, adding that President-elect Donald Trump's trade policy could make inflation data harder to read, according to the Minutes from the Fed December 17-18 meeting. The hawkish tones from the US central bank officials could lift the USD and create a headwind for the pair in the near term.(Cay) Newsmaker23
