Latest data released by Eurostat - 7 November 2018

  • Prior -0.2%; revised to +0.3%
  • Retail sales +0.8% vs +0.9% y/y expected
  • Prior +1.8%; revised to +2.2%

The revisions make this a pretty decent report but then again, it's Q3 data so this is very much a lagging indicator. But again, it sort of tells that the slowdown may not be as bad as initially feared. Let's see what initial Q4 data has in store though before coming to a definitive conclusion.
