Euro Zone This morning the Euro showed little movement after the close of the first day of the EU summit. While leaders held press conferences reassuring investors that Greece would not leave the EU, their message did little to help the markets. As a result of the summit so far, leaders have agreed to appoint a single person to oversee the banks of the EU. While some of the terms and powers of the regulator are still in contention, its still a step in the direction of stability for the Euro zone.

Existing home sales month over month came in slightly below expectations at -1.7 percent, and drastically below the previous report of 8.1 percent.
