German November PMI not encouraging- DAX edges lower

The important German November flash PMI readings have now been released. The French data that preceded this was noted in the previous update and it was not just poor, it was dire and that is what pushed the EUR/USD back down again. This German data a little more mixed, but it was not good by any stretch. The service sector reading fell back underneath 50 and the manufacturing number only rose 0.2% above forecasts. Initially the EUR/USD fell back towards session lows, but it has now bounced a little. However, beyond any immediate reaction, the German data was not at all encouraging. The DAX has not fallen back much yet though and remains elevated for now. Why you might ask? Well, perhaps it is not about that data in terms of the immediate moves, but in truth it really should be. The DAX is currently trading at 19,255
