05.01.2017 European data ahead of US NFP

act      exp     prev

07:00   EUR German Retail Sales (YoY) (Nov) 4.4% 2.5% -0.9%
07:00   EUR German Retail Sales (MoM) (Nov) 2.3% 1.1% -1.0%
EUR German  Construction PMI 53.7 53.1
07:45   EUR French Consumer Confidence (Dec) 105 103 103
07:45   EUR French CPI (MoM) 0.3% 0.3% 0.1%
07:45   EUR French HICP (MoM) 0.4% 0.1%
07:45   EUR French HICP (YoY) 1.3% 1.2% 1.2%

As well German retail sales as French Consumer confidence and  y/y CPI beat expectations. The retail sales numbers are pretty volatile but combined with the French numbers beating forecasts,  Euro crosses are in demand rather than EURUSD , where the USD’s been underpinned by higher NFP expectations after Wednesday’s roaring ADP( 250K)
More Eurozone PPI ,PMI and CPI’s to hit the wires this morning so watch crosses . EURGBP  yesterday’s resistance area 0.8920/30 is again to be monitored if we see a similar trend.
EURJPY 135.95/00 to watch as an intermediate support now . A further beat on the EUR data to see a further gradual rise towards the 137.00/500 zone.
