EURUSD is gaining following the release of preliminary PMI data for October from Germany. Thirty minutes earlier, data from France was released but did not cause a significant market reaction. Although the German manufacturing sector is still struggling, the preliminary PMI data showed an increase to 42.6 points, above expectations of 40.7. However, this is still well below the contraction threshold of 50 points.
