Inflation, while short of the ECB's target of close to but below 2 percent, is slowly gathering a bit of momentum; deflation no longer seems like an existential concern. All this means the ECB is likely to soon begin paring back its stimulus. It should proceed and not worry overly about the euro. Be mindful of policy impact, for sure. And be humble: Remember that Frankfurt has limited ability, by itself, to influence the overall dynamics of currency markets.
Tomorrow, from Eurozone, ZEW Economic Sentiment figures will be released. Analysts predict decline to 14.8 in German and 34.2 in Eurozone sentiment. There will be no major data releases in the US part of the session.
