Spreadex Market Update

Euro markets open cautiously



European markets opened cautiously today as investors opted to mirror the lack of enthusiasm shown by traders overnight in Asia owing to a series of key events this week which could derail the bout of optimism within the markets. The first of which begins tomorrow when the ECB will announce their minimum bid rate as well as provide more information as to further plans to help tackle the Eurozone debt crisis.

In addition, the potentially market moving payroll data from the US is due this Friday which tends to underpin sentiment even in the most optimistic of markets. Thus, over the next few days control of the markets could swing quite sharply as investors could find themselves wrestling with a combination of events which may dictate sentiment.

Investors should also be wary of the fact that Cyprus is due to complete their bailout agreement this week. Although officials have been more lenient with their terms than initially expected, the markets would clearly be concerned if they are presented with a bailout agreement which fails to impose a significant amount austerity.
