The euro exchange rate depreciated markedly against the U.S. dollar, which has been associated with the release of ambiguous data from the institute ZEW, as well as optimism about budget issues .

Note that the last value of this index was the highest since April 2010 . Many economists had forecast the index to rise slightly , and reach a level of 59.4 . For comparison, we add that historically the average value of the index is 23.9 points.

Meanwhile, data released today also showed that the index of business sentiment in the euro area increased ">The pound dropped significantly against the dollar , as the Congress is getting closer to an agreement on a temporary increase in the debt ceiling. Increased optimism regarding the issue supported the dollar , two days before the deadline on the debt ceiling to be held on October 17.

We also add that today pound got a temporary boost from data on inflation in Britain, which came out more than expected , thereby reducing the likelihood that the Bank of England will expand QE program from the current level of GBP375 billion

As shown by the latest report , which was submitted to the Office for National Statistics , at the end of last month , consumer price inflation in the UK has remained unchanged - at 2.7 percent. Note that inflation continues to remain above the target level of the central bank - at around 2 percent. Economists forecast that the annual inflation rate to fall to 2.6 per cent .

A monthly basis, consumer prices rose in September by 0.4 percent, while showing the same growth rate , which was recorded in August.

While this news was a supporting factor for the pound , the improvement of macroeconomic indicators in Britain in recent years suggests that additional QE measures are required. Instead, the market's attention will be focused on unemployment , as head of the Bank of England Carney made ​​it clear that the passage of the threshold of 7% will be the signal for the Central Bank to explore opportunities to increase the rate.
