Happy Friday, January 3rd! Here’s a quick market recap.

In Europe, Spanish unemployment improved but missed expectations, while German unemployment rose by 10K. Over in the U.K., mortgage approvals and lending data fell short, reflecting weakness in the housing market.

In the U.S., the ISM Manufacturing PMI came in at 49.3, beating forecasts but still showing contraction. Manufacturing prices rose, and vehicle sales hit 16.8 million, exceeding expectations.
