The pair rose 0.27% in the previous session, settling on Tuesday at \u20ac1.2070 and traded in a range between \u20ac1.2032 and \u20ac1.2070.

British inflation accelerated to a 10-month high of 3% year on year in January and could rise further.

However, it remains to be seen whether the trade tariffs will be implemented. Even say the threat of it, which could significantly impact the eurozone economy, is sufficient to keep euro buyers cautious for now.<\/p>\n<p>The eurozone economic calendar is quiet, with little for investors to focus on until PMI data on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pound (GBP) is flat after 2 days of gains UK CPI jumped to 3% YoY in January from 2.5% Euro (EUR) is unchanged despite more trade tariff threats The economic calendar is quiet The Pound Euro (GBP\/EUR) exchange is unchanged after two days of gains.
