Key Quotes
“A Current Conditions index above 80 would mark the series’ highest level since 2011, mirroring similar patterns seen in other survey data in recent months (eg the PMIs). Industrial production for the euro area is also published, and markets expect an increase of 0.1% m/m. We see upside risks based on recent country-level data.”
