Euro Area — Preliminary Gross Domestic Product:

  • GDP (seasonally adjusted, q/q): 0.2% (forecast: 0,1%; previous: 0.1%)
  • GDP (seasonally adjusted, y/y): 1,3% (forecast: 1,2%; previous: 1.5%)


Euro Area — Labor Market Data

  • Unemployment rate: current 6.3%; (forecast 6.3%; previous 6.3%)

 

The preliminary GDP figures for the Euro Area indicate a slightly better-than-expected economic performance in Q3. Quarter-on-quarter, GDP rose by 0.2%, above the forecast of 0.1% and an increase from the previous quarter’s 0.1%. Year-on-year, GDP grew by 1.3%, slightly surpassing expectations of 1.2%, though lower than last quarter’s 1.5%. These results suggest that the Eurozone economy continues to expand at a modest pace despite persistent headwinds such as elevated interest rates and subdued demand.

On the back of these figures, the euro is strengthening against the US dollar.
