Selling pressure around the single currency remains unabated as markets await the crucial EMU Retail Sales data.
Euro area December Retail Sales are expected to have risen 1.6% month-on-month and 0.3% year-on-year from -6.1% and -2.9% in the previous months respectively.
Any miss on expectations could weigh heavily on the common currency which already remains depressed as investors keep favouring the dollar.
