EUR/USD fell today. Some market analysts attributed the decline to the better-than-expected US Producer Price Index print, which boosted the dollar. But the currency pair actually did not respond to the release, continuing to move largely sideways after it and falling later. The EUR/USD pair was heading to end the week lower.

Wholesale inventories rose 0.4% in September, while experts had anticipated the same 0.3% increase as in August. (Event B on the chart.)
