EUR/USD showed a minor profit booking ahead of US ISM services PMI. It hit a high of 1.04340 and currently trading around 1.03863.
Euro area annual HICP inflation has been reported at 2.4% in December 2024, higher from 2.2% in November, in line with projections. However, the core inflation that is without food and energy has remained the same at 2.7%. The highest increase was seen in services at 4.0%, followed by food, alcohol, and tobacco at 2.7%. The increase in non-energy industrial goods has been minimal at 0.5%, while the energy prices gained slightly at 0.1%. This inflation data is crucial since it will have a bearing on the interest rate decisions of the European Central Bank later this month.
