EUR/USD is very marginally easier on the day in slow trade. There have been a raft of euro-zone economic data releases today, but by and large they’ve left the market unshaken. German September unemployment was unchanged at 7.6%, steady at its lowest level for 16 years. French August producer prices dropped -0.5% month on month and were up 6.9% year on year. French housing starts dropped 13.1% year on year in the 3 months to August with housing permits dropping 19.6% year on year. Meanwhile September euro-zone inflation slowed to 3.6%, down from 3.8% in August and very much in line with market expectations. EUR/USD sits at 1.4360 at writing.
