Flash GDP report for Q3 2021 from European countries turned out to be mixed. French reading surprised to the upside while Spanish missed expectations. Data from Germany and Italy released at 9:00 am BST also was mixed.

Market barely reacted to this data with German DAX (DE30) being little changed in the first 5 minutes after announcement and EURUSD taking a small 0.05% drop.
