Euro area outlook: Ongoing recovery while political risks are risingNordea
The recovery will continue in 2017-18, mostly driven by domestic demand. Inflation will rise only moderately, allowing monetary policymakers to stay on the accelerator for long. Although elections in major member countries might see EU- or euro-sceptic forces progress, we don’t expect a break-up of the Euro area. The approaching elections may shift fiscal policy to be more growth-supportive than we expect, but they also increase the risk of delayed or even reversed reforms.

FX UpdateTF
The euro isn’t getting much attention ahead of the ECB where expectations are rather hazy on what Draghi can deliver that will impress the market. If the ECB under-delivers on easing today the fall-out could be widespread and have implications beyond the euro.

From the FloorTF
It's Mario Draghi's stage today and the globe will be tuned in for what the ECB president has to say (which may well be not very much).
