In Germany, the unemployment rate from March remained unchanged at 7.1% in April. Meanwhile, a decline of 37,000 in the number of unemployed took the overall jobless level to a seasonally adjusted 2.97 million in April, the lowest figure since June 1992.

In the Asian session, at 3:00GMT, the EURUSD is trading at 1.4824, 0.10% lower from the levels yesterday at 23:00GMT.
