Friday’s Market Movers

• There was no data released in the UK on Friday.

• German PPI came out positively in the EU both MoM and YoY, but this failed to have any real impact on the markets and continued the trend of a flat day in the markets.

• Consumer Confidence was also released for the EU and came out better than expected but this still failed to show any Euro strength in the markets.

Today’s market movers

• PMI figures for Germany and the Euro zone are due out today. We will see some Euro strength if these figures come in positively.

• There is no data due out in the UK or US today, continuing the quiet trend that last week ended on.
