The euro strengthened against its major opponents in the
European session on Tuesday, as sentiment bolstered after U.S.
President Donald Trump said that he was optimistic about resolving
the U.S. trade dispute with China.
"He just got back from China. We'll let you know in about three
or four weeks whether or not it was successful ... but I have a
feeling it's going to be very successful," Trump said, referring to
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's recent trade talks in
Beijing.
Final data from Destatis showed that Germany's consumer price
inflation accelerated as initially estimated to its highest level
in five months in April.
Consumer price inflation rose to 2 percent in April from 1.3
percent in March. The rate came in line with the flash estimate
published on April 30. This was the highest rate since November,
when prices were up 2.1 percent.
Meanwhile, survey data from the ZEW-Leibniz Centre for European
Economic Research showed that Germany's economic sentiment weakened
unexpectedly in May.
The economic sentiment index fell to -2.1 in May from +3.1 in
April. The reading was expected to rise to 5.0.
The currency has been trading in a positive territory against
its key counterparts in the Asian session.
The euro advanced to 0.8692 against the pound, its strongest

Data from the Office for National Statistics showed that the UK
jobless rate declined in the first quarter to the lowest since
1974, signaling continuing firming of the labor market.
The ILO jobless rate came in at 3.8 percent in the first
quarter, while the rate was expected to remain unchanged at 3.9
percent.
Having dropped to a 4-day low of 1.1220 against the greenback at
5:00 pm ET, the euro bounced off with the pair trading at 1.1244.
The next key resistance for the euro is likely seen around the 1.14
level.
The European currency that closed Monday's trading at 122.65
against the yen edged higher to 123.40. On the upside, 125.00 is
possibly seen as the next resistance level for the euro.
After falling to near a 5-week low of 1.1288 against the franc
at 5:00 pm ET, the euro reversed direction and gained to 1.1330.
Next key resistance for the euro is seen around the 1.15 area.
The euro recovered to 1.7092 against the kiwi, from a low of

1.6196, its highest level since January 4. The euro is poised to
find resistance around the 1.63 level.
