The preliminary reading can be found here. More or less similar to initial estimates as it still reaffirms that Germany's manufacturing sector is seen falling to its weakest level in over 7 years.

EUR/USD holds at the lows for the day now at 1.1033 with the readings here serving as a reminder for the doom and gloom faced by the European economy.
