The preliminary reading can be found here. More or less in-line with the initial estimates there, and once again there isn't much to gather from the release here as well. I'd still be a little concerned about that Italian reading earlier as factory activity contracts for the first time in more than two years.

It could be a start of a domino effect to come for the Eurozone as we head into 2019. That doesn't bode well for the growth outlook.
