Eurozone Flash PMIs (FR/DE/EU)
Around the 23rd of the month, morning sequence · 09:15-10:00 CET
Preliminary purchasing-manager surveys for France, Germany and the euro area, released in sequence over 45 minutes. They are the earliest broad monthly read on European growth.
The sequencing matters: a French miss at 9:15 primes positioning for the German print at 9:30, and the euro often completes its move before the aggregate number even lands.
What it measures
S&P Global's preliminary purchasing-manager surveys for France (9:15), Germany (9:30) and the euro area (10:00 CET), manufacturing and services each.
Why the economy cares
The earliest broad monthly read on European growth — flash estimates lead the final PMIs and most hard data by weeks.
How it maps onto the chart
Weak prints → EUR pressured, bunds bid; strong → the reverse. The sequenced release means the euro often front-runs the aggregate: France primes the German print, Germany decides the move.
Price behavior around the release
Before
Quiet Asian handoff into the French print; little dedicated positioning.
During
A 45-minute cascade rather than one candle: each print revises the running estimate, and mid-sequence reversals happen when Germany contradicts France.
After
Directional days from PMIs tend to persist through the European session; US traders inherit the move rather than reverse it.
