BREAKING: Final eurozone manufacturing PMI slightly higher than expected 📊 EURCHF gains 0.2%
Today, final European manufacturing PMIs came in mostly stronger than expected, while the biggest 'gap' between analysts expectations and final reading was in Switzerland, where industrial PMI jumped to more than 49 vs 43.8 exp. and 43.5 previously, supporting the Swiss franc. However, EURCHF gains today 0.1% as European final PMIs readings came in better than expected (except of Spain). A scale of positive surprise in Germany is quite low.

EURCHF (D1)
The pair gains today more than 0.1% (despite strong upside surprise in Swiss PMI); probably oversold conditions ahead of today PMIs reports and positive (but not big) surprises across the eurozone manufacturing PMIs, supported the move to the upside.
