German June Factory orders jump but EUR/USD refuses to do so

The German June factory orders data has just been released. The markets were expecting an improvement from the 1.6% fall seen in May. The forecast was for a rebound of around 0.5%. The data has just revealed a much bigger than forecast rise, of 3.9% and that has helped improve the annualised reading too. The EUR/USD has not immediately reacted to this data though, but that is quite often the case. At the same time this much better data should not be ignored, provided it proves not to be a one-off. The EUR/USD is close to session lows, currently trading at 1.0946
