Eurozone: Sentix Investor Confidence deteriorates considerably in March

In terms of Italian elections, President Napolitano wants to bring forward the country's first post-election parliamentary meeting to March 12th from March 15th, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. Meanwhile, Bersani hopes to persuade Italy's president that he could govern without a majority in the Senate. According to Macro Strategy Analysts J. Reid and C. Tan at Deutsche Bank, “He has drawn up a seven or eight-point plan to present to Napolitano next Wednesday.” Bersani ruled out a deal with Silvio Berlusconi, saying a grand coalition with the center-right was not an option.
