EUR/USD focus on Germany, Draghi

The shared currency is extending its correction lower from Tuesday’s peaks beyond 1.3610, amidst rising concerns about the US debt ceiling and the absence of progress in order to overcome the situation. Ahead in the day, German industrial production would be in the spotlight in Europe, with consensus pointing to a monthly expansion of 1.0% during August. Across the pond, the FOMC minutes will grab all the attention against the backdrop of a decent recovery of the greenback from multi-month lows. ECB’s President M.Draghi will give a speech in Cambridge, although no market reaction is expected.
