Employment is a fundamental component of the economy as it leads to consumer spending and hence retail sales. A high unemployment rate may be an indicator of a troubled economy.

The German Ifo Business Climate was also reported to be worse than expected. It was reported to be 95.7 instead of 97.1. This is a low last visited a few years ago. Business Climate surveys are influential as the sentiment of businesses is a leading indicator of economic health. A healthy sentiment suggests that an economy is moving along well while a cautious sentiment may see less business activities due to prudence. As Germany is a significant component of the euro zone economy. it is possible that negative sentiment towards the euro currency has increased.

While the European Central Bank maintained a hold on the rates, official comments are reported to be giving a sense of possible upcoming cuts and quantitative easing. The anticipated increase in liquidity of the euro currency may weaken it’s value and dampen sentiment.
