Eurozone Current Account

Latest Release

Actual

-5.8B

-1.6B

The Current Account index measures the difference in value between exported and imported goods, services and interest payments during the reported month. The goods portion is the same as the monthly Trade Balance figure. Because foreigners must buy Euros to pay for euro zone exports, the data can have a sizable affect on the EUR.

A reading that is stronger than forecast is generally supportive (bullish) for the EUR, while a weaker than forecast reading is generally negative (bearish) for the EUR.
