German retail sales data for January was released today at 7:00 am GMT. Market was expecting a monthly increase in retail sales, as well as a smaller year-over-year drop compared to December 2023.
Actual report turned out to be a disappointment - retail sales unexpectedly dropped on a monthly basis, while year-over-year decline turned out to be deeper than expected. However, market's reaction was rather muted, with neither EUR nor DE40 experiencing any major moves
