However, Germany offset the negative sentiment printing much better than expected Manufacturing Index (51.8 vs 49.5), that confirmed the sector is not contracting yet. Overall, the EMU Composite PMI was 52.2 vs 51.7, sending the pair to 1.2650 area, as the market realized that the euro zone shape is not that bad. The next target to the upside may be located at 1.2676.
