Comments by French finance minister, Bruno Le Maire

  • Eurozone future is at stake if we do not reduce divergences between euro countries
  • It is time to decide on Eurozone budget to favour convergence among EU states

Well, at least someone among top European officials is at least concerned. Good to know. Le Maire also chimed in a little about Brexit saying that the EU cannot give a "positive answer" to the UK's request for an extension if they do not understand the reasoning for it.

That should at least keep markets guessing for a bit following earlier reports that Tusk could be set to offer the UK a 12-month extension.
