Retail sales rose by 13.9%, after a downwardly revised drop of 6% in April. Analysts had expected an increase of 3.9%.<\/p>\n<p>The data showed a massive increase in online sales as fear of catching coronavirus kept consumers away from stores. The data follows German consumer sentiment figures released earlier in the month, which showed that Germany consumers were feeling more positive regarding their income prospects going forwards.<\/p>\n<p>Investors will now look ahead to Eurozone manufacturing PMI data which is expected to confirm the preliminary reading. Manufacturing activity is expected to remain in contraction in June, but the rate of contraction is expected to have slowed compared to May. An upbeat reading could lift the Euro.<\/p>\n<p>US Dollar is trading broadly flat versus its major peers as optimism surrounding stronger economic data is being offset by concerns over the rising number of coronavirus cases in the US.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, 47,000 new daily covid-19 cases were reported, the highest number since the outbreak started. Investors fear that rolling back reopening measures and re-instating lockdown could knock the fragile economic recovery even before it has really started.<\/p>\n<p>Attention will know turn to a deluge of data to be released later today, including ISM manufacturing and non-manufacturing figures and ADP private payroll numbers. Analysts are expecting 3 million jobs to have been added in June, after 2.7 million lost in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Euro (EUR) rebounds on signs of the economic recovery gaining traction after Chinese PMI data and German retail sales beat forecasts Barrage of data due, including German unemployment and eurozone manufacturing PMI figures US Dollar (USD) trades broadly flat as fears mount over rising coronavirus numbers, PMI data and ADP payroll figures could provide clues [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163946597,"featured_media":4029,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1380,1381],"tags":[2068,1395,1393,1480,1430,1397,1398],"class_list":{"0":"post-101598","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eur","8":"category-usd","9":"tag-adp-payroll","10":"tag-eur","11":"tag-euro","12":"tag-manufacturing-pmi","13":"tag-retail-sales","14":"tag-us-dollar","15":"tag-usd"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
