Some nice French data this morning.

French September consumer spending came in at a very robust +2.3% m/m, demonstrably stronger than the median forecast of +0.5%.

Meanwhile French October flash services PMI came in at 57.8, better than the median forecast of 54.0 and the highest read in 20 months.

Factory PMI came in at 55.3, better than the median forecast of 53.3 and the highest read in 35 months.

EUR/USD having dipped to a session low 1.4993 has recovered to 1.5015 at writing, no doubt aided by the upbeat French data.
