The business confidence reading improves slightly in September but the industrial confidence slips to its lowest level since March 2017. A mixed report all in all but headline business confidence is still holding up at elevated levels so that should continue to provide some optimism surrounding the French economy.
EUR/USD has inched a little higher on the session to 1.1760 currently. EUR/GBP has moved higher as well now at 0.8966 while EUR/JPY trades at 132.80. Ranges are still relatively narrow on the day though.
