According to the Guardian, overnight on Friday the European Union had announced that they would tighten the export rules of vaccine shots produced in the 27 EU countries. Such decision was made a week after pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca revealed it would cut deliveries of its vaccine to Europe by 60% in the first quarter due to production problems at a factory in Belgium. On the economic data front, the Euro received further bearish momentum over the backdrop of negative GDP data from German Region. According to Statistisches Bundesamt Deutschland, the Germany Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for last quarter had slumped significantly from the previous reading of 8.5% to 0.1%, which dialled down the market optimism toward the economic progression in Euro region. As of writing, EUR\/USD depreciated by 0.08% to 1.2125.<\/p>\n
