The eurozone inflation report initially supported the pair; the ECB supported the euro later. Yesterday, Italy, Spain, and France produced positive readings for services PMI, but the German services PMI continued to slow down. The Spanish services sector employment rose at the fastest pace since September 2007. Services firms operating in Italy recorded a rise in business activity in May for the fourth time in the past five months. French services sector activity rose for the fourth successive month. Growth in the Germany services sector activity was the slowest in 2015 so far.

Early on Thursday, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said Greece is close to an agreement with its creditors after talks with eurozone officials.
