EUR/USD is crawling up awaiting German CPI

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/USD opened the day at 1.3851, and spent the morning drifting higher; it trades above 1.3860 area by the moment.

German CPI will tell the direction

Monday showed interesting developments - the euro stopped being the riskier asset between the two in the pair with USD. The rising tensions in Ukraine didn't trigger mass sell-off of the single currency. On the contrary, it helped the euro to rise to 3,5-week highs, and the pair is ready to go higher if only the German CPI numbers surprise to the upside. The chances are quite low though given the rising energy prices and stromg euro, thus, the retreat to initial support at 1.3817 is not ruled out.

What are today’s key EUR/USD levels?
