Data from IHS Markit showed that the composite output index of Germany rose for the second straight month in March, to 57.0 from 56.1 in February. This was the highest score since May 2011.

The services Purchasing Managers' Index climbed more-than-expected to 55.6 in March from 54.4 in February. The services activity growth hit a 15-month high. The expected score was 54.5.

The factory PMI climbed unexpectedly to 58.3 from 56.8 in February. The score was forecast to fall to 56.5. Also, the eurozone private sector reached a near six-year high in March. The composite output index rose to 56.7 in March from 56.0 in February. The latest reading was the highest since April 2011. Economists had forecast the index to fall to 55.8.

In the European session, the euro rose to a 2-day high of 1.0807 against the U.S. dollar, from an early 3-day low of 1.0760. The euro may test resistance near the 1.09 region.
