Summary
- Investors await CPI data on Wednesday
- Euro in positive territory, yen weakens
- Fiscal worries sill weigh on pound

Cooler-than-expected producer prices in December followed last week's strong jobs report that led investors to scale back bets on rate cuts as potential U.S. tariffs remained in the spotlight.
