The Spin

Narrative A

While the road to economic recovery is far from over, the latest data brings much-needed relief to the eurozone's tumultuous economic environment and signals that the ECB's strategy may finally be working, strengthening the case for more moderate ECB action next month. This is good news.

Narrative B
