The euro strengthened against its major opponents in the early European session on Monday, as investors cheered latest developments in Italy, where the leaders of Five Star Movement and the League are heading to form a coalition government.

The two parties reached a deal on Sunday as a result of last-ditch attempts to break a two-month impasse since the inconclusive election in March.

Italian President Sergio Mattarella is set to hold formal talks with the 5-Star leader Luigi Di Maio and League chief Matteo Salvini today afternoon.

5Star leader Luigi Di Maio said that they have agreed about the Prime Ministerial candidate, who will be "a politician and not a technician".
