Equity markets are firming up, but the euro is sliding down

  • FTSE +0.31%
  • DAX +0.31%
  • CAC40 +0.30%
  • FTSE MIB +0.19%
  • IBEX +0.66%

A complete reversal from the opening, and a stark change in sentiment compared to the Asian equity markets.

Meanwhile, EUR/USD has slipped to 1.1924 as the EUR has now taken the mantle of the worst performing currency among the major bloc today.
