Final French GDP numbers for Q3 2017

  • Final GDP y/y +2.3% vs +2.2% prelim

Preliminary release was last month here. A better than expected reading than the preliminary results. Year-on-year, that's the highest reading since 2011.

There's also the release of France November consumer spending:

  • Consumer spending m/m +2.2% vs +1.4% expected
  • Consumer spending y/y +1.2% vs +0.4% expected

A strong beat in consumer spending as well for the month. Some positive consumer sentiment data for France - and for the Eurozone. Minor data point, but collectively will only add to the Eurozone optimism that's been building.

EUR/USD still lacking direction over the last two hours - trading at 1.1855.
