Fundamental view

The surplus on Euro zones seasonally adjusted current account probably narrowed to 18.4 billion EUR in January, according to the median estimate of experts. In December the surplus figure was 21.3 billion EUR. The official numbers are to be released at 9:00 GMT.

In addition, the preliminary value of the compound index of economic sentiment (ESI) for the Euro zone probably improved to a reading of -12.3 during the current month from -12.7 in February. The European Commission is expected to publish the preliminary data at 15:00 GMT. This survey precedes the final reading by two weeks. A larger than projected improvement in the index would provide support to the single currency.

In January the result has been a net surplus of 6.4 billion GBP, which indicated that nations budget surplus was at the lowest level since 2010. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is expected to publish the official figure at 9:30 GMT.
