Despite the fact that the day started out rather positively for the euro, the reality is that it simply cannot hang on to gains. The Consumer Price Index had a chance of helping the euro, as it came in at 0.23% instead of 0.3%. The market is likely to look at this, at the very least, as a good sign or a potential cooling off of the US dollar. However, we have a keep in mind that the Federal Reserve still has a long way to go before they start loosening monetary policy, while the European Central Bank looks absolutely feckless at this point in time, and there’s almost no chance they would tighten monetary policy.
