TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Germany is the locomotive of the eurozone, and when the locomotive loses a gear, the entire train is in trouble. This has been the story in the third and fourth quarters, as weaker German growth has affected the rest of the eurozone. There was more grim economic news on Friday, as retail sales posted its first decline since July. Consumers are holding tighter to the purse strings, which is hurting economic growth. Unsurprisingly, consumer confidence softened in November – the reading of 10.4 points was its lowest level since May 2017.
