GDP numbers from Germany beat expectations slightly, but the 4th quarter results nevertheless were minus -0.2%. However, the French data was slightly better than expected with a gain of 0.2%. The GDP numbers from the continent provide a good counterbalance and reflection of the current E.U. conditions. Sentiment remains nervous regarding the EUR, although it has shown the ability to trade higher.
