PMI reports performed better almost everywhere. The exception is Italy. However, we are still mostly seeing PMI indexes for industry below 50, which means a further contractation in the sector. Only in Spain PMI readings point to expansion.

Generally, PMI publications were received positively although the market reaction is limited, with EURUSD gaining 0.15% today despite the relative weakness of the EUR. The market attention is dominated by a much weaker dollar and the upcoming US elections.
