The single currency could get over 1.33 versus the greenback again with improving of the market sentiment after it has come under pressure yesterday on increasing worries about the Euro zone economic slow down which open the way for taking further easing steps by ECB for reviving the economy which is negatively impacted by EU governmental efforts for underpinning its revenues by hiking taxes and cutting its spending for having a stabilized financial situation in the face of the debt crisis risks which are still looming threating its creditability.
Yesterday, Mar EU Manufacturing PMI has come at 47.7 as expected and as the preliminary reading of it from 49 in February and also Feb EU Unemployment rate has come at 10.8% as expected from 10.7% in January but by the end of last week we have seen EU CPI flash reading of March coming at 2.6% y/y while it was expected to ease further to 2.5% from 2.7% in Feb and Jan which is well above the ECB 2% inflation target showing that there is still inflation upside risks as the ECB president Draghi has maintained recently because of the rising of the energy prices despite the economic slow down in the Euro zone.
