- Composite PMI 59.0 vs 58.8 preliminary
- Prior 58.9
A beat compared to the preliminary figures, but nothing too substantial. The headline figure is the fastest growth in almost seven years though (82-months high), same goes for the composite reading (81-months high).
Not much change in the euro pairs though, as again these are just the final readings.
