Additionally, the ZEW Institute reported that its economic sentiment index for the entire euro zone also moved down to 55.2 in May, from a reading of 61.2 the previous month.

Oil Trading Alert: Breakthrough in Crude Oil – Only A Matter Of Time
May 12, 2014, 12:35 PMOn Friday, crude oil hit an intraday high of $101.18 supported by ongoing concerns over tensions in Ukraine.

Forex Trading Alert: High Volatility in the EUR/USD Pair
May 8, 2014, 4:31 PMEarlier today, the euro moved higher after the European Central Bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at the record low of 0.25%. However, an acceleration of the rally came after U.S. Department of Labor showed that initial claims for jobless benefits in the week ending May 3 fell more than expected. Thanks to these disappointing numbers, EUR/USD hit a fresh 2014 high and approached the key level of 1.4000.
