European equities rebound and trade with modest gains after the sharp losses from yesterday. The Greek situation has taken quite confusing and sometimes contradictory contours. On the one hand, European Commission sources said that since the new leader was appointed to the Greek talks with Brussels Group, negotiations registered some progress although they remain some obstacles at the level of pension reform and labor market. But then, Finance Minister German proves skeptical about an agreement at the next meeting of the Eurogroup (11th). Today, Bloomberg reports that the Greek negotiators acc...

European equities are technically rebounding from last week losses. The volume of the session should be lower due to the holiday in the London Stock Exchange. The evolution of the Euro will be guiding European equity markets. Last week, the strong appreciation of the Euro was the strongest reason for the fall of the main European indexes. The devaluation of the European currency was in the last 12 months, one of the main drivers of the sharp appreciation of European equities. The injection of liquidity by the ECB further strengthened this downward trend of the euro, benefiting European exporte...

The EURUSD broke the last month consolidation range (1.05-1.105), favored by weak growth in the US economy. The devaluation of the Euro had been a major catalyst which drove the rally of the European markets. Technically, the movement of the Euro yesterday is positive for the European currency, can not be excluded additional short-term gains. If this materializes, should assist to an overperformance of the mining and petroleum sectors (the fall of the dollar benefits commodities), while the more cyclical sectors and exporters (automotive, industrial, etc.) should register a underperformance. I...

he main stock indexes should trade today under the influence of two opposite factors. The first, positive, is the good performance of US markets. The second is negative, and is related to the situation in Greece. Although almost no one was waiting for an agreement at the meeting of the Eurogroup on Friday, the point is that the few steps forward to bridge the gap between Greece and its European partners still appear insufficient. Interestingly, with the exception of the Greek Minister of Finance, several European leaders at the press conference following the meeting gave greater emphasis on di...

In recent weeks, Greek officials have been shown to be optimistic about an agreement, but some members such as Germany, Finland, among others, are skeptical because of some ground gained in the last three months. However, yesterday’s statements by German Chancellor Angela Merkel (who said he had a constructive meeting with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras), may serve to mitigate some differences within the Eurozone. The next meeting of the Eurogroup will take place on 11 May, which will function as a reference date for the financial markets.

European stocks technically recover from the last week falls. Last week, European markets had one of the worst weekly performance this year. The reasons for this fall are essentially three. The first is the decline of the dollar, which had been the main catalyst for the rally of some indexes such as the DAX, which includes several export companies. The European currency has been favored by the weak US economic data, with the perception that the rise in interest rates in the US is not imminent and some factors of a more technical nature (the fall of the Euro has reached extreme levels and not o...

With the acquisition of BG Group by Shell to increase expectations of more mergers and acquisitions in the oil sector. Despite the drop in crude oil price in recent months, the oil sector has several opportunities especially for larger companies who have accumulated enough liquidity in recent years.
