The Italian election is on March 4. The result there could well be significant for the euro

Indeed, news on approach to that date could move EUR.

This via Reuters :

  • The leader of Italy's 5-Star Movement Luigi Di Maio met representatives of some of the world's largest investors and hedge funds at a private club in London
  • To explain 5-Star's policies and the political prospects

Di Maio said repeatedly that if he does not have enough seats to govern alone, he saw the likelihood of a government backed by all the main parties, including 5-Star

Reuters quoting an unnamed source "who was in the room during the day's meetings"

  • Di Maio later denied he had said he was willing to make post-election alliances ... but said he would be willing to negotiate with them on policies.

Indications from 5 Star that they are willing to compromise should be euro supportive
