The euro climbed against the U.S. dollar on expectations of strong retail sales data from the euro zone. Economists expect sales to have risen significantly in December. If data meet expectations this would be a positive sign for the economy of the single currency area. Some analysts believe that weak data released previously were driven by seasonal factors and the economy was actually doing better.

The yen little changed amid Japanese manufacturing activity data. The index came in at 52.3 points in January, having declined slightly from a twenty-month high reached in December. Economists had expected a reading of 52.4. Conditions in the manufacturing sector of the country's economy continued improving.

The Australian dollar declined at the beginning of the session amid data from Australia's major trading partner China. China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing reported that the country's Manufacturing PMI declined to 49.4 in January compared to 49.7 reported previously and 49.6 expected.
