EUR/USD rose 0.7% to 0.9804. 

Data showed that economic sentiment in the eurozone fell sharply in September and by more than expected, as business and consumer confidence fell and they were pessimistic about the inflation trend in the coming months. 

The biggest focus, however, was on German inflation, which jumped to 10.9% this month, well above expectations of 10%. 

This suggests that the broader 19-country eurozone figure to be released on Friday could also exceed forecasts of 9.6%, strengthening the case for another 75 bps rate hike at the next ECB policy meeting.
