EUR/USD: Attention to German CPI, US GDP & Fed speaks                          

Currently, EUR/USD trades modestly flat at 1.0607, extending recovery from 1.0589, session lows. A fresh selling-wave witnessed in oil prices triggered a renewed bout of risk-aversion across the financial markets, which boosts the funding currency status of the euro.

Moreover, extension of the retreat in the US treasury yields stalled the upbeat momentum behind the US dollar versus its main competitors, thus, rescuing the EUR bulls from below 1.06 handle.

Later today, the major is likely to get influenced by the fundamentals, with the German CPI data to release ahead of the US GDP report and consumer confidence numbers. Besides, Fedspeaks from Powell and Dudley will also remain in the limelight.
