When George met Angela……
Greek PM George Papandreou meets German Chancellor Angela Merkel today and the two are set to give a press conference after the meeting at 17:30 GMT. Could be real interesting.
Before that at 13:30 GMT we have the latest US jobs report for February, which looks likely to be schewed by the bad weather seen during the month. As such it’s nie impossible to get what one might call a median market forecast. For what it’s worth Bloomberg’s median forecast is for -68k.
Not much in way of euro zone data this morning:
11:00 GMT: German factory orders for January expected +1.3% m/m
EUR/USD sits at 1.3585 hardly changed from where North America closed out Thursday with Asian trade effectively a non-event, price action confined to narrow 1.3572-1.3606 range.
Buy orders tipped down at 1.3550/60, stops through 1.3540 and more buy orders at 1.3500/20. Sell orders tipped up at 1.3610 and then 1.3630/50, stops just above there.
