Latest data released by Eurostat - 5 February 2018

  • Prior m/m +1.5%; revised to +2.0%
  • Retail sales y/y +1.9% vs +1.9% expected
  • Prior y/y +2.8%; revised to +3.9%

Pretty much bang on expectations for both m/m and y/y figures. The prior revisions were relatively good though, but it's a minor data point - and one from all the way back in December, not all too important.

EUR/USD now at 1.2460, barely changed on the data release. EUR/GBP similarly at 0.8827, while EUR/CHF now is at 1.1590.
