Following this release, the EURUSD rose to 1.03800.
Previously, the currency pair had dipped to 1.03431, approaching the lowest level seen in the past two years. The EURUSD faced downward pressure as the European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to be more aggressive in cutting rates compared to the Federal Reserve next year.
The German PPI data indicating positive growth has provided a fresh boost for the EURUSD. Given its proximity to a two-year low, market participants engaged in short covering, contributing to the upward movement.
