EUR shows ambiguous trading dynamics against USD during today’s Asian session, consolidating after a rather strong growth the day before, which allowed EUR to regain some of its losses in the middle of the week.

Strong support for the instrument on Thursday was provided by strong macroeconomic statistics from Europe, while market participants positively assess the prospects for further lifting of quarantine restrictions in the region. The volume of retail sales in the eurozone in March increased by 2.7% MoM after rising by 4.2% MoM in February against the expected +1.5% MoM. On an annualized basis, sales volumes rose by 12% YoY after declining 1.5% YoY in February. Forecasts suggested an increase of 9.6% YoY.

Today, investors are focused on data from Germany on the volume of imports and exports, as well as the growth rate of industrial production in March.
