Euro-zone's trade balance is due out at 5:00 am ET Monday. The seasonally adjusted trade surplus is expected to expand EUR 13.0 billion in September from EUR 12.3 billion surplus in the previous month.
The euro showed mixed performance ahead of the data. While the common currency recaptured some of its lost ground against the pound, it erased recent gains against the dollar and held steady against the Swiss franc and the yen. As of 4:55 am ET, the euro was trading at 1.3505 against the dollar, 134.98 against the yen, 0.8380 against the pound and 1.2332 against the Swiss franc.
