The euro traded higher against the U.S. dollar after the mixed economic data from the Eurozone. Retail sales in the Eurozone dropped 0.6% in June, missing expectations for a 0.3% fall, after a 0.1% increase in May. May's figure was revised down from a 0.2% rise.

The increase was driven by lower food, drinks and tobacco and non-food sales. Food, drinks and tobacco sales declined 0.8% in June, while non-food sales decreased 0.2% in May.

Gasoline sales were flat in June.

On a yearly basis, retail sales in the Eurozone rose 1.2% in June, missing forecasts of a 1.9% gain, after a 2.6% increase in May. May's figure was revised up from a 2.4% rise.

The annual rise was driven by non-food sales, gasoline sales, and food, drinks and tobacco and non-food sales.

Eurozone's final services purchasing managers' index (PMI) decreased to 54.0 in July from 54.4 in June, up from the preliminary reading of 53.8.

"The Eurozone economy showed reassuring resilience in the face of the Greek debt crisis in July.

He added that Eurozone's GDP expanded 0.4% in the second quarter, according to the recent data.

Germany's final services purchasing managers' index (PMI) remained unchanged at 53.8 in July, up from the preliminary reading of 53.7.

A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector.

The decline was partly driven by a slower growth in employment.

"A deterioration in service sector growth is the latest in a stream of signals that the economy has slowed as we move into the second half of the year. The fall in the services PMI follows signs of ongoing weakness in manufacturing and a renewed slowing in the construction sector," the Chief Economist at Markit Chris Williamson said.
