EUR/USD  

EUR/USD was up 0.19% at 0.99625, off a fresh 20-year low of 0.99005 set earlier, dragged down at one point by renewed fears that energy shocks continue to fuel inflation and make it more likely that Europe will fall into recession.

PMI data showed that European business activity contracted less than forecast in August, but the outlook remains bleak. 

EUR has fallen by around 12% so far this year and has fallen by almost 3% in August.
