This week should be an interesting one; the majority of the European market are certainly keeping a close eye on Greece, whether its current bailout crisis is under control or an exit from the euro is likely. The situation remains on-going and uncertain, so if Greek bailout talks should take a dramatic turn for the worse over the coming weeks the euro can expect to pay with a heavy fall.
On Thursday we have Eurozone inflation and employment data with the unemployment rate expected to show a slight reduction to 11.2%.
