Reaction of the markets to flash PMIs for January has been rather small. Indices were recovering from a lower opening when French data was released and a print triggered a small pullback. Meanwhile, much better-than-expected German data lead to a barely noticeable bounce on the DE30 market. Euro can be seen as the winner of the situation with EURUSD moving higher after both releases. The main currency pair is trading a touch below 1.1330 handle.
