France has imposed much tougher pandemic restrictions and it is perfectly visible in a huge drop of services PMI from 46.5 to 38. French manufacturing gauge dropped into contraction territory, below 50. On the other hand, German manufacturing PMI beat expectations and made just a small drop from 58.2 to 57.9. German services sector remained in contraction territory.
Markets barely reacted to French release but solid data from Germany has triggered gains on the EUR market as well as on the indices from the Old Continent. DE30 jumped above 13,250 pts while EURUSD recovered above 1.1870.
