🚨 πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ German flash PMIs mixed: services miss at 51.7, factories beat at 54.2

  • πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Services activity cooled to 51.7 in October from 52.9, below the 52.5 forecast, per newswires
  • πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Manufacturing firmed to 54.2 against 53.5 expected, its strongest showing of the three

FO view: Germany holds up far better than France, with industry still expanding, so this tempers rather than deepens the euro area growth scare.

Not investment advice.
