Euro zone June M3 annual growth has come in at 3.5%, exactly as expected. 3-month moving average April-June has come in at 4.1%, pretty much in line with median forecast of 4.0%.
Elsewhere, Conference board’s euro zone leading economic index for June was up 1.5% versus 1.7% gain in May.
Thrilling stuff. Highlight of my day so far has been watching the rain beat down on my french doors. Mesmerizing.
Anyways, EUR/USD hit a session high 1.4268 and is presently back down at 1.4235.
