The Day Ahead
France releases preliminary Q2 GDP growth at 21:30 ET alongside unemployment benefit claims, with consensus pointing to a 0.2% quarterly rebound after the prior contraction. Spain follows with flash GDP estimates and preliminary inflation figures at 23:00 ET, expected to show steady 0.6% quarterly growth and 3.1% year-over-year CPI. Germany publishes its own Q2 GDP flash at midnight, with consensus at 0.0% quarter-over-quarter versus the prior 0.3% print.
The Netherlands adds GDP flash estimates at 23:30 ET. These high-impact releases will shape views on Eurozone momentum ahead of the ECB’s next policy meeting. No Governing Council speakers are scheduled.
