DAX futures edge higher following upward German GDP revision

A couple of minutes ago the Q2 German GDP data was revised slightly higher. Q2 growth rose by 0.3%, where it was estimated previously at 0.2%. That transposed into an upward revision, from 0.9% to 1% for the annualised rate. Ok, so hardly much to shout about, but a positive revision all the same. The EUR/USD has blinked and ignored that though, but the news has helped the DAX futures a little. 

The index futures have since adjusted the opening call close to 26,200. The DAX had closed yesterday at 26,106, with a modest loss of 29 points on the session.

The DAX is currently priced to reopen around 26,190
