Description
Eurozone Manufacturing: Stagnant but ResilientThe eurozone's manufacturing sector remains stagnant, with the latest PMI landing at 50.0, indicating no growth or shrinkage. Production ticked up slightly, marking the eighth consecutive month of modest expansion, but growth remains weak. New orders from both local and international buyers have been declining for months, and job cuts in the sector have accelerated, reaching the fastest rate since early summer. While some countries like Greece and Spain saw improvements, major economies like Germany, France, and Austria continue to shrink, albeit at a slower pace. Despite unchanged costs, manufacturers slightly increased selling prices, and inventory levels dropped more quickly as companies strive to maintain efficiency. However, supply chain issues, particularly in obtaining semiconductors, persist, causing longer delivery times. Overall, the manufacturing sector is holding its ground but struggling to transform its fragile balance into robust growth.
