Euro markets rise yet again



European markets have risen yet again during today’s session with the FTSE 100 led by heavyweight miner Aggreko. However, many analysts are starting to believe that the recent rally that has propelled the UK 100 to five year highs could stall as investors are beginning to see limited upside potential.

Although the FTSE 100 was trading up 27 points by 13:00, miners have fallen with investors concerned over China given its recent indication that inflation concerns could take precedence over a pro-growth stance. The sector is down some 2 percent in 2013, against a more than 10 percent advance on the FTSE 100.

European leaders attending a two-day summit in Brussels will be discussing plans to loosen the economic shackles on Eurozone nations struggling to bring down deficits.

The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits unexpectedly dropped last week to the lowest level in almost two months, adding to signs the labour market in strengthening.
