Latest data released by Eurostat - 19 December 2018
- Prior +2.0%; revised to +2.1%
- Construction output +1.8% y/y
- Prior +4.6%; revised to +4.8%
The data here tracks changes in output/sales in the construction industry. Not exactly a bright start to Q4 construction data and readings like these won't help ease worries that the slowdown will continue into next year. A minor release on the day.
EUR/USD is just off the highs currently at 1.1386 as the euro is still among the top performers today. EUR/GBP sits at 0.9003 at the moment, a little higher as well.
