Preliminary figures can be found here. The final print sees the composite reading recovers to its highest level since November but it doesn’t take away from the fact that factory/manufacturing activity remains weak overall. The services sector may be sparing the blushes of the euro area for now but economic conditions continue to point towards a softer outlook unless things on the other side start to rebound.

EUR/USD holds at 1.1281 currently after having dipped to a low of 1.1269 on the session earlier. Price is still nearly unchanged on the session, holding in a narrow range.
