Today, focus will be given to the upcoming data on German inflation, with which a good report will lead to a further rise of the European currency in the market. However, if the report on the US labor market, which will be published in the afternoon, comes out good or better than the forecasts, demand for the US dollar will resume, which will increase the price of the currency in the trading chart.
