Say what you like, the Germans are pretty much holding Europe together single handedly.

Not much happening today, German trade balance just came in positive, French TB in in 45 min and GB at 10:30.  US up on earnings speculation and BOJ started with bond buying. Feel free to add if you know of other possible macro or micro catalysts. 

Today at 2am:  North Korea warned foreigners in South Korea to take evacuation measures in case of war. This seems so unreal.

Tx tb :)

Chinese Exports (YoY) came in at 10.00%, previous 21.80%, Trade balance at -0.88B, previous 15.30B ???.  Tonight at 8:00PM, FOMC meeting minutes detailing Feb policy and it seems Slovinia again covering up a 8 Billion Euro banking shortage but we are clever and have learnt from past experience, smoke equals future fire. In Europe at the moment FTSE futures down, DAX futures down, CAC futures up 0.01% and in USA Dow & S&P down, Nasdaq  0.1%.  I've been short again since last night thus hoping our opening won’t be too optimistic, which seems to be local MO.

Edit: Euro & US fut up now

FOMC minutes released earlier (15:00), shows several members saw QE ending by year-end.  Seems this has already impacted on our market.
