The latest data reveals that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for the Eurozone decreased by 1.2% in the most recent period, an improvement compared to the predicted decline of 2.4%. While this figure is better than expected, it still indicates a notable downturn in the production sector of the region.
A drop in PPI is often associated with a decrease in inflationary pressures in the upstream sector, which could influence monetary policy decisions made by the European Central Bank (ECB).
Despite the more favorable PPI data, the EURUSD exchange rate continues to weaken. This decline is largely driven by market concerns regarding the fragile economic outlook of the Eurozone amidst global pressures. Additionally, the strengthening of the US dollar as a safe-haven asset further contributes to the euro’s downturn.
Following the release of this data, the EURUSD fell to the level of 1.0314, continuing the downward trend observed in the previous session.
