    The AIB Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for Ireland rose to 58.5 in November, up from 56.7. This shows stronger growth in the services sector, with better business activity and more confidence among service providers. **Key Points: More Robust Sector Performance** This improvement comes from increased consumer confidence and higher spending in services. The data points to a positive outlook as Ireland’s services sector continues to recover from the pandemic. With the November AIB Services PMI reaching 58.5, it sends a clear signal of growing economic strength in Ireland. This is the highest figure we’ve seen in almost a year, suggesting strong demand as we approach the end of 2025. For traders, this unexpected strength offers many opportunities in the weeks ahead. We believe this creates a positive outlook for the Irish stock market, especially for service-focused companies. The ISEQ 20 index has gained 7% so far this year, and we may see a year-end rally thanks to this encouraging sentiment. Traders might consider buying call options on Irish banking and hospitality stocks that will benefit directly from this growth. This positive growth data may complicate decisions for the European Central Bank. With Eurozone inflation steady at 2.6% in November, the strong Irish economy reduces the chances of rate cuts in early 2026. As a result, we could see Irish and German bond yields rise, making short positions on bond futures a potential hedge. **Impact on the Euro and Foreign Exchange Market** In the foreign exchange market, this strong Irish data supports the Euro. As one of the best-performing economies in the Eurozone, Ireland’s growth could push the EUR/GBP and EUR/USD pairs higher. It may be wise to consider long positions in the Euro, possibly through futures or options, to take advantage of this economic momentum. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
