European stock markets will likely see an increase in volatility in the second quarter, as Europe braces for the referendum on whether or not the UK will stay in the European Union. Opinion polls are leaning closer to an exit, according to Antonio Oprita, Sr. Editor and Columnist with Real Money. 'This creates volatility both in the UK and the Eurozone markets,' said Oprita. In terms of European trading next week, Oprita said investors will have the UK Construction PMI report to consider along with updates on how the services sector is performing in both Europe and the UK. Finally, investors will get an account from the latest ECB meeting.
