Global Market: Euro zone current account surplus widens in May; market impact likely limited

The euro zone's seasonally adjusted current account surplus widened to 25.1 billion euros (around 29.2 billion dollars) in May, up from 17.5 billion euros in April, driven by stronger primary income flows. On an unadjusted basis, however, the bloc posted a deficit of 6.2 billion euros. The article notes that the data is unlikely to have a significant immediate impact on European equity markets, with investors focused on earnings, inflation, and ECB policy expectations.
