European markets closed mostly, rising, favored by the weakness of the Euro. The weakness of the European currency has led it to trade at 1.19 against the Dollar, a level not recorded since December 2017. To justify the weakness of the common currency, there is the significant difference between US and German yields and the recent slowdown in the European Economy. In March, orders to industry decreased by 0.90% (on a monthly basis), compared to forecasts of 0.50%. In the first quarter, the German economy was negatively conditioned by factors such as bad weather and a series of strikes that marked that period. During the day, the mining and oil sectors stood out. Crude oil prices gained more than 1% as a result of retracement of the Dollar and the indications that President Trump would be inclined to impose sanctions again not only on Iran but on Venezuela.
