Economic data will remain quiet from the European Union until Thursday when a slew of inflation figures will be published from the continent.

Euro Will Remain Speculative in Coming Days

Until then, the Euro may remain extremely speculative as traders position themselves with the knowledge, the currency was not able to sustain these higher values in September.

However, it is a new year and the Euro which has been beaten back before may be able to withstand selling pressure this time around. But until full trading volumes re-establish themselves sometime next week, risk management will be essential for all market participants.
