The weaker-than-expected retail sales could raise concerns over the health of the consumer and a deteriorating economic outlook.<\/p>\n<p>The euro is falling for a second straight session amid a lack of fresh economic data. The focus has been on the ECB rate cut expectations, with plenty of ECB officials speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week.<\/p>\n<p>ECB president Christine Lagarde is due to speak again today.
