What this release is

The France S&P Global Services PMI, published monthly by S&P Global via markiteconomics.com, is a key economic indicator for the French services sector.

How we measure: moves come from our own MT4 price feed and our archived minute bars, sampled 5, 15 and 60 minutes after each release against the pre-release price. No estimates, no third-party numbers. Releases where our feed had a gap are skipped, never guessed.
