The Eurozone economy unexpectedly stalled in the third quarter of 2023, the final estimate published by Eurostat showed on Thursday.

On a quarterly basis, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the old continent stood at 0% in the three months to September of this year. The preliminary figure showed a 0.1% growth during the reported period. The market expected a 0.1% figure.

On an annual basis, the bloc’s GDP contracted 0.1%, at the same pace as that seen in the first readout, in line with the market forecast.

Eurozone’s Final Employment Change came in at 0.2% and 1.3% on a quarterly and yearly basis respectively.

Market reaction

The Euro is bearing the brunt of the discouraging Eurozone data, with EUR/USD easing from intraday highs of 1.0785 to now trade at 1.0773. The pair is still up 0.11% on the day.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing.
