FX.co ★ Analysis of Gold for March 12,.2021 - First downside target has been reached at the $1.710 and potential for second target at $1.680

Latest data released by Eurostat - 12 March 2021

Euro area industrial output was much stronger than estimated to start the year, with a positive revision to boost in December as well. The higher output was across all categories with durable consumer goods seen contributing the most, rising 0.8% on the month.

That said, overall industrial production is still working its way back to pre-virus levels but at least the tighter restrictions aren't having much negative impact for now.
