020 7898 0500It was a fairly positive day for the single currency on Monday, as European Consumer Confidence data came out better than in the previous month, moving up from -6.1 to -5.7. This is still a negative figure, but there has been a welcome improvement in the European economy over the last few months.
The euro also hit its highest level against sterling since October, a movement that was down to both sterling weakness and euro strength, which is why we have seen a gradual but consistent strengthening for the single currency over the last few weeks.
This morning, Consumer Confidence data from Germany will be released, but it is not expected to be a major announcement; and the rest of the week is looking quiet for the euro, so we expect the market to quieten down as the week draws to an end.
