Further comments by ECB chief economist Peter Praet on the day

  • Sees no reason why demand would slow in 1H 2018
  • Trade wars are bad for both sides

Well, the data certainly doesn't suggest that things are on the up so I'm not sure what Praet is getting at here. While not bad, the economy certainly isn't as good as what European officials have been touting surely.
