Euro fell as German trade balance, industrial production rise

The euro fell modestly against its major counterparts as the German trade balance and industrial production data for February climbed. 

According to Destatis, trade balance increased to 19.7 B from January's 19.6B, while industrial production went up 0.2% from -0.4%. 

Federal Reserve's minutes of its March meeting also hurt the common currency. The minutes stated the US central bank might concentrate more on the firmness of its volatile currency than the timing of possible interest rate hike. 

Versus the US dollar, the British pence, the Japanese yen, the shared currency ended at $1.0755, £0.7238, and ¥129.38, respectively.
