He said the German economy, the largest in Eurozone, is strong and is set to grow 3 percent this year.
The euro gained a bit of ground overnight versus the dollar, and was steady at $1.4425 ahead of the opening bell on Wall Street. The pair has been locked in a tight trading range near this mark for the past few months.
U.S. economic conditions improved slightly in July, as industrial production gathered steam, according to report Monday from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

The euro improved to Y110.80 versus the yen, as Japanese officials continued to signal they are prepared to intervene again to weaken the surging yen.
The single currency inched higher to GBP 0.8750 from 0.87 versus the sterling, paring last week’s losses.
The euro was stable versus the Swiss franc, improving to CHF 1.1350 from 1.1275. The pair has seen little movement over the past few sessions, with the euro staying away from this month’s record low of 1.0067.
