The attention this week shifts back to the economic data, although the threat of an eventual Greek exit from the Eurozone remains in the background.<\/p>\n<p>The EUR\/USD was trading at 1.1368 in the early Asian session, down 0.13 percent. The pair faces initial support at 1.1294 and resistance at 1.1445. The euro advanced slightly against its US counterpart last week, but ended on a sour note following the details of the Greek loan extension. The pair briefly fell below 1.13 on Friday before recovering.<\/p>\n<p>Several batches of high profile data are on the docket this week, headlined by Germany. On Monday the IFO Institute will release the business climate index, a closely followed indicator for economic development in Germany. The business climate index is forecast to rise to 107.7 from 106.7, adding further evidence the German economy was regaining momentum following a midyear slump.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday the Federal Statistics Office is expected to confirm Germany\u2019s Q4 GDP growth at 0.7 percent, unchanged from the preliminary estimate. Year-on-year, this translates into an annualized gain of 1.6 percent. Fourth quarter growth more than doubled forecast and was a significant improvement over the third quarter\u2019s 0.1 percent uptick.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Eurostat will post final Eurozone CPI figures for January. Eurozone consumer prices plunged 0.6 percent annually in January, the sharpest decline since July 2009, Eurostat reported last month in a preliminary estimate.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday Germany will publish official <a href=\"https:\/\/mktplace.org\/australian-dollar-loses-traction-ahead-employment-figures\/\">employment figures<\/a> for February. The number of workers unemployed is forecast to drop by another 10,000 in February. The unemployment rate is forecast to hold at 6.5 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Eurostat will release several economic indicators on Thursday, including business confidence, industrial confidence and economic sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>Germany and other Eurozone member states will close out the week with preliminary estimates of February CPI. Germany\u2019s harmonized index of consumer prices declined 0.5 percent in January, the first time in more than five years inflation turned negative for Europe\u2019s largest economy.<\/p>\n<p>Eurozone inflation will probably remain negative in the first half of the year before gradually recovering later on, aggravating concerns about the currency bloc\u2019s nascent recovery. Persistently weak inflation also raises concerns about the ECB\u2019s \u20ac1 trillion bond buying program, which has designed to shore up consumer prices and promote economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>The ECB will hold its next monetary policy meetings in early March.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mouseposition-extension-element-full-container\" style=\"position: fixed; inset: 0px; pointer-events: none; z-index: 2147483647; font-weight: 400;\">\n<div id=\"mouseposition-extension-element-rect-display\" style=\"display: none; position: absolute; background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); outline: black solid 1px; font-size: 12px; z-index: 2147483647; justify-content: center; align-items: center; user-select: none; cursor: default; color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; width: 0px; height: 0px;\">\n<pre style=\"flex: 1 1 0%; text-align: center; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7); color: #000000; min-width: 42px; min-height: 12px; transition: all 1s ease 0s;\"><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<pre id=\"mouseposition-extension-element-coordinate-display\" style=\"position: absolute; display: none; background: #ffffff; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px; border-radius: 3px; border-width: 1px; border-color: #222222 black #333333; border-style: solid; padding: 3px; z-index: 2147483647; color: #222222; user-select: none; cursor: default; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The euro was trading cautiously on Monday, following a week of uncertainty that ended with Greece securing a short-term loan extension in exchange for further oversight from its creditors and other reforms that squashed Athens\u2019 \u201canti-austerity\u201d pledge.
