There was a feeling that reading may surprise to the upside after Spanish and German readings showed upside surprises yesterday.

Meanwhile, core gauge accelerated by acceleration was smaller than expected - from 5.3 to 5.4% YoY. Markets reaction was fairly muted - EURUSD ticked higher but scale of gain did not exceed 0.05%.
