Overview of the main drivers: Stock indices and oil

The main European stock indices show mixed dynamics in the course of trading. The British FTSE 100 remains near zero marks, thus not affecting the movement of the pound. DAX and CAC 40 added to the quotations of about + 0.75%, thereby exerting pressure on the single currency, which is an obstacle for the further growth of the EUR/USD pair. See Quotations.

Oil prices remain positive, adding on average + 0.75% to the quotations, which helps the commodity currencies to hold their positions against the US dollar. For more information, see Oil (current news).
