Fundamental view
The number of unemployed people in Spain probably decreased by 5 300 in March, according to the median estimate by experts. In February people looking for a job were 1 949 less. In case the number of the jobless diminishes more than projected, this would have a bullish effect on the euro. The official data is due out at 8:00 GMT.
Euro zones final annualized Gross Domestic Product probably expanded 0.5% during the last quarter of 2013, which would match the second (revised) growth estimate, announced on March 5th. The quarterly GDP in the region probably rose 0.3% in Q4, again matching the revised estimate. In case regions economy expands more than expected, the single currency would receive support. Eurostat is to publish the official report at 10:00 GMT.
