Today’s economic calendar is very light, with investors shifting their attention toward the second half of the week. The key release will be Friday’s U.S. CPI inflation report for August. German imports and exports unexpectedly declined, but EURUSD is holding up relatively well and has managed to move back above its 200-day exponential moving average and remain there.
