Meanwhile Buba President Weber is on the tape, mirroring the Bundesbank report, saying that extensive stimulus measures are showing some signs of progress, but economic situation is still uncertain. Currency markets seem a bit more risk averse than Bond markets this morning with Eur/Usd edging lower to 1.4170, with some buying interest seen at 1.4150.
