Pretty much in line with median forecasts of +0.1%, +1.8% respectively.
EUR/USD has traded higher during Asian trade, continuing the post FOMC minutes rally. Stops were tripped above 1.3935 and we’re presently at 1.3955 having been as high as 1.3978. Not surprisingly talk of sell orders clustered up around 1.4000. Guess there could be decent stops gathered just North of recent 1.4030 high, but need to get confirmation.
Not much left in way of Euro zone data this morning:
09:00 GMT: Euro zone industrial production for August expected +0.8% m/m, +7.4% y/y
