Latest data released by Sentix - 8 October 2018

A continued fall in the headline reading after a brief recovery doesn't really breed confidence. It's not one that will weigh on the euro all too much on the immediate impact but it's not going to help with sentiment on the day and certainly not with regards to the outlook as well.

EUR/USD now trades to the day's low at 1.1482 as the dollar and the yen extends gains on the day. EUR/JPY slips to a low of 130.41 currently.
