Latest data released by Istat - 17 January 2019

  • Prior €3.78 billion; revised to €3.82 billion

Slight delay in the release by the source. Istat notes that exports went up by 0.7% on the month while imports fell by 1.3% from the month October. There isn't much to gather from the release here as it's not of much significance to the euro. Low-tier data.

EUR/USD sits at 1.1398 currently, still hugging the 1.1400 handle. EUR/GBP is slightly higher at 0.8854 as the pound holds a little lower on the day.
