Euro still “controlled” by the Greek debt problem

Greece and its debt problems continue to be the centre of attention. On the whole the rhetoric is positive but until all is agreed it is very difficult to predict the actual outcome. Otherwise the euro enjoyed a steady week last week with no major movements.

Today we have the release of the March Eurozone Purchasing Managers Index for the Service Sector which is expected to hold steady. Similar to the UK we then have a raft of data covering output for industry and manufacturing for the Eurozone released towards the end of the week. If the Greek debt problem doesn’t blow we could see some confidence return to the Eurozone economy and possibly the euro.
