Fears are growing that the slow vaccine rollout will mean the economic recovery in the region will take longer. Weaker than forecast German industrial production figures did little to support the common currency.<\/p>\n<p>This week is a quiet week on the Eurozone economic calendar. A speech by European Central Bank Governor Christine Lagarde could drive the Euro, in addition to sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>The US Dollar is on the rise as US treasury yields rise on additional stimulus optimism.<\/p>\n<p>The greenback lost ground on Friday following the US non far payroll data. The US economy added 49,000 jobs in January, this was roughly in line with estimates of 50,000. However, leading indicators across the week such as the ADP private payroll report and jobless claims had pointed to a stronger reading, which was priced in. This meant that the inline reading was actually a disappointment to the market. However, this is also expected to be a low point. With vaccinations ramping up, covid hospitalisations falling\u00a0 job figures from the second quarter onwards are expected to be much stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting unemployment fell from 6.7% to 6.3% which was a significant improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Attention this week will be firmly on Joe Biden\u2019s $1.9 trillion covid stimulus package. On Friday the US Senate passed a budget resolution that allows for the passage of the fiscal stimulus package in the coming weeks without Republican support.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Euro (EUR) under pressure, German industrial production 0% vs 0.3% exp.
