The Tokyo Stock Exchange continued its downward trend, keeping the Yen under pressure, despite an encouraging increase in exports in December.
Other positive figures in the United States, the index of consumer confidence reached its highest level in 16 months at 55.9%, while markets are awaiting the Fed’s decision of monetary policy, which should be made public this afternoon. Also expected this evening, the first speech on the State of the Union from President Obama, causing yesterday some decommitments on the American Stock Exchange.
The EC (European Commission) believes that too strong differences and ongoing competition among countries in the eurozone could endanger the single currency. For his part, after the success of its bond issue to 5 years, Greece would sell up to EUR 25 billion of its obligations to China.
In France, the indicator of household confidence is up from (-29) in January cons (-30) in December, when unemployment figures in France are expected at 6pm.

Good day.
