German chancellor Angela Merkel now out with some comments of her own

  • Hurdles remain in exploratory coalition talks
  • Will do everything possible for coalition talks to succeed
  • It'll be a "tough day" in decisive coalitions talks

Well, the backdrop is all but set. Somehow, all these politician talks always reminds me about wrestling matches - where before the fight begins, both sides will come out to talk a bit of smack.

So, I guess now it's time to head into the ring then!

Anyway, EUR is mostly unchanged from all these comments with EUR/USD at 1.1939 still and EUR/GBP at 0.8856.
