FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Another day with a very light calendar in Europe, as only inflation figures in the euro bloc are due. Market consensus expects the CPI to remain unchanged at 2.4% through the year to July and to contract 0.5% in the monthly print. Core CPI estimates call for a rise of 1.9% YoY vs. +1.6% previous.

Docket across the pond includes housing data, the weekly report on the labor market, and the Philly Fed manufacturing survey.

At the moment the cross is down 0.05% at 1.2283 with the immediate support lying at 1.2261 (low Aug.13) followed by 1.2255 (up trend line from low Jul.25) then 1.2242 (low Aug.10) and 1.2195 (61.8% of 1.2042-1.2444).
On the flip side, a break above 1.2344 (high Aug.15) would expose 1.2388 (high Aug.9) then 1.2402 (high Aug.8) and 1.2432 (Upper Bollinger).
