Eurozone Consumer Confidence rose by 1.8 points to -16.9 in April from -18.7 in March, data released by the European Commission on Thursday showed. That was a better outcome than the expected decline to -20.0. In the European Union as a whole, Consumer Confidence rose from -19.6 to -17.6 in April. 

Market Reaction

The euro did not react to the latest better than expected Consumer Confidence figures. FX markets are instead in wait-and-see mode ahead of remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and ECB President Christine Lagarde later in the session.
