Germany (8:30 am GMT)

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.
