The more cyclical sectors and more dependent on the weakness of the Euro (such as automotive, industrial, etc.) should register a over-performance. In terms of indices, the DAX is the most benefited from the weakness of the European currency. The mining sector recorded a sharp appreciation in the Asian session but if such a move be extended during the European session, the recovery is likely to be volatile and once again dependent on oil prices.
