German ZEW falls to lowest in 2 years- EUR/USD slips

The August German ZEW index has just been released and it has come in lower across the board. The index has come in at 19.2 compared to an expected reading of 32. All the other components have come in below estimates too and this is the lowest reading for the index in over 2 years.
