EUR consolidates ahead of ECB meeting
"This week’s price action is suggestive of consolidation, with congestion around 1.18 ahead of Thursday’s ECB policy decision."
"The euro area’s final services PMI’s softened slightly (in low expansion), and the latest (preliminary) CPI data were in line with expectations, printing 1.7% y/y on headline and 2.2% y/y on core and offering little for ECB policymakers ahead of the Feb 5 meeting."
