EURUSD

Last week Euro again could not steadily take 1.13 level. Although, there are still no reasons for decline. On Thursday and Friday the important US data will be released. Thursday retail sales data may be this time more important than inflation. The latest will doubtfully make sharp rise towards Fed’s target.
