The 19-country eurozone economy is growing steadily but there's no sign of any marked lift-off, a key survey showed Wednesday in another development that's likely to pile pressure on the European Central Bank to expand its stimulus next month, according to AP. In its monthly survey of economic conditions around the single currency bloc, financial information company Markit said its composite purchasing managers' index a broad gauge of economic activity encompassing both the manufacturing and services sectors rose to 53.9 points in October from the four-month low of 53.6 in September. Anything above 50 indicates expansion and, according to Markit, October's figure points to quarterly growth of 0.4 percent.
