EUROPE
EUROPE: Fairly quiet morning in terms of scheduled events/data, esp with the UK
out. A couple of items on the agenda today though (apart from US payrolls):
- 1200BST: ECB Pres Lagarde speaks at The State of The Union conference, will be
livestreamed at the following link: https://stateoftheunion.eui.eu/
- 1400BST: Eurogroup meeting: Eurozone finance ministers set to discuss COVID-19
crisis support within the eurozone, as well as the Commission's spring forecast
regarding the economic situation in the currency zone. Citi notes that they will
discuss the main features of the Pandemic Crisis Support instrument of ESM, but
patience required for the European Recovery Fund proposal.
- (Moody's typically 2100-2130BST, DBRS could be after 1800BST): Lots of
Eurozone potential sovereign ratings reviews after hours, with most focus on
Italy: Moody's on Greece & Italy; DBRS on Finland & Italy; Fitch on Slovakia.
