Preliminary report published by Destatis showed on Friday showed German economy grew 1.5% q/q in Q2 of 2021 when compared to the expectations of 2.0% and -1.8% in Q1.
Meanwhile, the annualized GDP rate rebounded by 9.2% in Q2, missing expectations at 9.6% and compared to the previous reading of -3.4% and missed market expectations of 9.6% expansion.
Separately, the Italian economy expanded by 2.7% QoQ in Q2 but bettered estimates of 1.3% and 0.1% previous.
