Eurostat - June 09

  • Prior -3.8%
  • GDP -3.1% vs -3.2% y/y expected
  • Employment -0.2% vs 0.3% q/q expected -0.2% prior
  • Employment 0.4% vs 0.3% y/y expected 0.3 % prior

These are the revised numbers so not a lot was being expected from the print. Q2 is going to be in key focus. These readings show a better then expected revision for q/q GDP, so that plays into the hopes that the impact on economies were not as bad as feared. EURUSD up a few ticks on the release at 1.1261
