EUR/USD lower, Greece worries again to the fore

EUR/USD sits at 1.3425, down from a North American close Monday up around 1.3480, the euro again being underminned by worries surrounding Greece.

There are reports that Greek banks are being hit by wealthy citizens moving their money offshore.

Elsewhere, the FT reports that Germany is in disagreement with Euro zone partners on how high interest rates should be for any potential Greek aid. Euro zone partners are willing to charge 4-4.5%, while Germany wants Greece to pay an “unsubsidized” 6-6.5%, the rate Greece now pays for 10 year borrowing. Happy Dayz.

Not much in the way of euro zone data today:

08:30 GMT: Euro zone sentix confidence for April expected -5.2 from -7.5

European stocks meanwhile expected to open firmer, DAX by as much as 0.7%, FTSE by as much as 0.8%.
