Euro-zone economic confidence edged higher for February to the highest level since 2011 which underpinned growth hopes.
The latest Opinionway opinion poll for the French Presidential election registered a small improvement for Macron which provided net Euro support as concerns surrounding a potential Le Pen victory faded slightly.
