Today, the publication of the Producer Price Index in the EU is expected, which, according to analysts' expectations, may grow from -12.4% to -9.5%. Some growth in producer prices reduces the likelihood of a reduction in the European Central Bank refinancing rate already this month. Thus, the euro may strengthen slightly in value relative to the recent decline.
