Markets were relatively calm in overnight trading, as investors remain hesitant to open positions ahead of an Italian bond auction tomorrow and elections in Greece on Sunday. The EUR/USD is currently trading around the 1.2505 level, roughly the same as the beginning of the Asian session. Crude oil was able to largely hang onto its gains from yesterday, and is currently trading around $83.10 a barrel.
