"Still, risk aversion continued dominating the financial world, this time, triggered by Iran as during the weekend, international sanctions over Iran were lifted, and now the country will be able to add as much as 500,000 barrels a day to crude exports, sending the commodity down to fresh 12-year lows.
Also in the spotlight is the upcoming ECB meeting later this week, with market's expectations pointing to a dovish stance from Mr. Draghi, as the Central Bank measures are still unable to revive the local economy."
