As expected, the British delegation met with European Council President Donald Tusk and presented him with a letter that triggers Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. An 18-month negotiation period is expected to follow. With all attention on the EU-UK relationship, Greek-related headlines have been cast to the backburner. However, it is worth noting that German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble voiced opposition to deferring Greek interest payments, saying this would be equivalent to a new loan. Greek officials have until April 7 to come to terms with EU representatives to avoid a funding shortage. That said, the Bank of Greece reportedly has more than EUR10 billion in funds that could be accessed to buy some additional time for negotiations.</p><ul><li>In economic data:<ul><li>Germany's February Import Price Index +0.7% month-over-month (expected 0.3%; last 0.9%); +7.4% year-over-year (consensus 7.0%; previous 6.0%)</li><li>UK's February Mortgage Approvals 68,320 (expected 69,900; last 69,110) and M4 Money Supply -0.3% month-over-month (expected 0.5%; last 0.9%)</li><li>France's March Consumer Confidence held at 100, as expected</li><li>Italy's March Business Confidence 107.1 (expected 106.3; previous 106.4) and Consumer Confidence 107.6 (consensus 106.6; prior 106.6)</li><li>Swiss March ZEW Expectations 29.6 (last 19.4) and February Consumption Indicator 1.50 (last 1.44)</li></ul></li></ul><p><em>---Equity Markets---</em></p><ul><li><strong>UK's</strong> FTSE is lower by 0.3%.
