We are after the publication of key PMI index data from France and Germany. The data from France surprised on the upside, but still the indices remain below 50 points, while in the case of Germany, services performed marginally better, but we see a strong downward slide in the PMI index for manufacturing.
Germany PMI data:
- Manufacturing: 42.3 vs. Exp. 46.1 (Prev. 45.5)
- Services: 48.2 vs. Exp. 48.0 (Prev. 47.7)
- Composite: 46.1 vs. Exp. 47.5 (Prev. 47.0)
