Meanwhile, weak economic data out of the eurozone put pressure on the euro. Germany's Ifo business climate index, based on a monthly survey of some 7,000 companies, fell to 104.70 in September from 106.30 of the previous month, the lowest since April 2013, the Munich-based Ifo Institute for Economic Research said Wednesday.


Moreover, financial data firm Markit reported Tuesday that the composite purchasing managers' index (PMI) in eurozone fell to a nine-month low of 52.3 in September, signaling further waning of the bloc's economic growth.


Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), said in an interview Wednesday that interest rates in the eurozone will remain at the present low level for an extended period to support the economy.


Earlier this month, the ECB decided to cut interest rates by 10 basis points and start buying non-financial private sector assets. The ECB policymakers pledged to launch more stimulus measures if required.
