🚨 πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Euro area flash PMIs miss: composite 51.9 vs 52.7 expected

  • πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Euro area services activity slowed to 51.7 in October from 53.0, short of the 52.5 forecast, per newswires
  • πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί Manufacturing eased to 52.4 against 52.7 expected, down from 52.9

FO view: The miss is region-wide, not just French, which adds to the growth scare France started this morning and supports the case for a softer euro and firmer Bunds, with French paper still the weak link.

Not investment advice.
