| Analysis: Strong GDP A Balm For ECB Hawks; But Will It Last? Posted: PARIS (MNI) – To say the least, Friday’s stunningly 1Q GDP data from the Eurozone’s two largest economies are hardly going to deter the European Central Bank from raising interest rates again, probably no later than July and now possibly even next month.

| Posted: Greek restructuring fears helped push EUR/USD to fresh lows and rebounds are now running into headwinds at 1.4120, the former spike low broken late in London trade. 1.4050 and 1.4000 exotic triggers are likely to slow the decline of the single currency and should be enough to keep it in check ahead of the weekend.
