PMI business report in Germany and the Eurozone was negative and put a pressure on the single currency. The main pressure on the euro had statistics for Germany, which came out earlier and provoked a rapid sale. The main driver for this movement was the decline in business activity in the manufacturing sector (PMI) in Germany, which has continued to slow down since September.

Statistics on business activity in the eurozone also turned out to be negative, but it was perceived more coolly. In conditions of low market activity, yesterday’s dynamics could be repeated with the British pound, when the pound showed a rapid growth, and after that it was restrainedly corrected. For EUR/USD, a similar dynamics is possible with a moderate correction from support levels: 1.1360 and 1.1330. At the same time, general upward dynamics of the pair slowed down significantly.
