The euro fluctuates against the dollar , while demonstrating a slight decrease . Note that the pair continues to rise the third consecutive week , recovering from the levels reached after the rate cut by the ECB. Risk appetite and skepticism about " transparency policy " ECB support the single currency. At the same time , today's favorable reports on inflation and unemployment had no noticeable effect on the dynamics of the euro .

In the statistical agency of the European Union reported that the number of people out of work in 17 countries in the euro zone declined unexpectedly in October , departing from its highest level since April 2011 . According to the report , the unemployment rate in the euro area fell last month to 12.1 %, compared with 12.2% in September, which was a record .

Furthermore, the data showed that the number of people without jobs fell by 61,000 in October, largely was due to a decrease on 41 000 in France - the second largest economy in the monetary area . Nevertheless , without a job are still 19,298 million, 615 thousand more than in the same month last year. We also recall that the last time the unemployment rate fell in 2011 . Decline in unemployment was a surprise to many economists , as they expected that this figure will remain unchanged. But , despite the recession , the unemployment rate remains very high by international standards.

Meanwhile , another report submitted showed that inflation in the eurozone rose to 0.9 percent in November . Note that these data are still preliminary revenge . Many experts expect that inflation will rise by 0.8 percent. Recall that in October of this indicator increased by 0.7 percent. However , despite this growth , inflation remains below the target level of the European Central Bank "below but close to 2 percent " for the tenth consecutive month. We also learned that , excluding the cost of energy , food , alcohol and tobacco , core inflation increased to 1 percent from 0.8 percent.

Pound fell against the dollar earlier , which was associated with the release of a weak report on consumer confidence in Britain. Results of recent studies that have been presented by GfK NOP, showed that confidence among British consumers fell in November , registering with the second monthly deterioration , as they were more concerned about the state of their finances . These results add early signs that the recovery of the UK economy , built largely on consumer spending , could lose momentum in the fourth quarter of this year , as households begin to reduce their costs. Bank of England officials warn that prolonged pressure on workers' incomes due to rising wages lag behind inflation , could undermine the recovery , if the company also will increase their spending in the near future .

Today's data showed that the index of sentiment among households fell unexpectedly in November - to the level of -12 points , compared with -11 points in October . Many economists expect that the value of this indicator will be slightly improved , and reaching -8 points .

Nevertheless , in the GfK NOP reported that the loss of confidence in November was small. Sentiments among the population are much more optimistic than in the previous year was recorded . Note that the November decline was associated with deterioration of the two sub-indices - personal financial situation and willingness to make major purchases . But despite this , households have become a little more confident to look at the prospects for the economy in general .

The euro headed for a third monthly gain against the yen and the dollar as investors pared bets for additional easing by the European Central Bank ahead of the region’s inflation data today. Consumer prices in the euro region probably rose 0.8 percent in November from a year ago, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before the European Union statistics office data today. The ECB cut its benchmark interest rate this month after inflation in the currency bloc slowed to a four-year low in October.

The 17-nation euro climbed to a five-year high versus Japan’s currency after a report yesterday showed consumer prices in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, accelerated more than forecast. Data yesterday showed the inflation rate in Germany, calculated using a harmonized European Union method, rose to 1.6 percent this month, more than the 1.3 percent median forecast of analysts polled by Bloomberg.

The yen was set for a fourth monthly decline against the greenback after Japanese government data showed inflation quickened. Japanese consumer prices excluding fresh food rose 0.9 percent in October from a year ago, the most since November 2008, statistics bureau said in Tokyo today.

Australia’s dollar dropped versus all its major peers as the government’s rejection of a planned foreign takeover raised concern about investment flows into the country.
