The pair saw its upside boosted despite mixed results in the euro area showed Private Loans coming in flat vs. expectations for a 0.2% gain, while the M3 Money Supply expanded more than anticipated during April, at an annual pace of 5.3%. Further data showed Italian GDP expanding 0.3% QoQ during Q1 and 0.1% on a yearly basis, surpassing prior surveys.
In the meantime, the G7 meeting has resumed in Dresden with the re-negotiation of the Greek debt taking centre stage, mainly following yesterday’s comments by IMF Chief C.Lagarde.
