The euro was a bit stronger on Tuesday, increasing by 0.1 percent to $1.1902 in relation to the US dollar. The shared currency was trading at ¥139.77 against the Japanese yen.

The shared currency was helped by the ZEW index, which showed the German economy upbeat despite a bit of a decline in the expectations index, which fell to 69.8 in February, slightly below the expected level of 71.0 but still close to a high due to gains since November.
