TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

German numbers continue to sag, raising concerns about the health of the eurozone economy. On Friday, German manufacturing PMI for January dipped to 49.7, below the 50-point level which separates contraction and expansion. This was the weakest score since October 2014. Trade tensions and weakness in the German auto sector continue to weigh on the manufacturing sector. This reading followed a very soft reading from German retail sales, which plunged 4.3% in December. This marked its sharpest decline in more than 12 years.
