I am anna edwards. Lets start with breaking news. Of howe pmi, the gauge the economies across the eurozone are doing right now, these are the preliminary numbers for august. We were expecting on manufacturing a number of 51. 3. It has come in at 50. 8. The service number, that has come in just a shade below estimates at 53. 5. The composite number, we were expecting 53. 4. That has come in at 52. 8. That is a little bit below estimates. Slightly below estimates all in all.
