Our Consensus is for sequential economic growth to have softened in Q3 from Q2, and available data backs this projection. Industrial output fell in July–August from Q2 levels on lower energy output. Additionally, the services PMI averaged below Q2 in Q3, indicating that the sector lost some steam. Moreover, goods exports growth weakened in July–August from Q2’s level, and tourist arrivals grew at a slower annual pace in July–August relative to Q2. On the flip side, retail sales strengthened in July–August, aided by a tighter labor market and softer price pressures. In other news, in October, asset manager Blackstone announced plans to invest EUR 7.5 billion to build data centers in the northern region of Aragon. The region is becoming a major cloud computing hub in Europe, following investments by Microsoft and Amazon earlier this year.
