Stronger-than-expected German consumer confidence data supports the Euro, keeping EUR/CAD stable after three consecutive days of gains.
EUR/CAD traded steady around 1.6170 in European hours Thursday, extending a three-day rally as the Euro found support from better-than-expected German consumer confidence data. The cross showed little volatility following the release, which signaled improving economic sentiment in the Eurozone’s largest economy.
Prior to the data, EUR/CAD had climbed modestly from 1.6120 earlier in the week. Analysts had anticipated a softer print, but the uptick in consumer confidence suggested resilience in domestic demand. The pair remains within its recent range, with no immediate catalysts for a breakout.
Markets showed limited reaction, as the data reinforced expectations of steady Eurozone growth without altering the broader monetary policy outlook.
