EURO Strength on ECB Rate Hike Bets The EURO is set to potentially strengthen as investors start pricing in four interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank over the next 9 months.
Friday's Inflation data will be closely watched by the markets, as any beat above forecasts will put pressure on the European central bank to react.
If ECB policy makers start coming out and hinting Rate Hikes are coming, expect the EURO to strengthen.
EUR/JPY would be the most optimal trade on the divergence of monetary policy.

STATE OF EUROPE!A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Right now Italy doesn't look so good with capital flights and a weakening economy.
On the technical side of things, price had a nice reaction with the lows which happens to be the all time lows in the Italian bonds.
This is a place I'd look for longs but first , I'd need proof that buyers are still here.
