German Manufacturing Numbers

The activity in the German manufacturing sector was slightly higher in June compared to the month before but still remained in contraction territory, a release by IHS Markit showed on Monday. The IHS Markit/BME Germany Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) stood at a four-month high of 45, marking an increase from 44.3 recorded in May. "Although inching up in June, Germany's manufacturing PMI remains well inside contraction territory as the sector continues to suffer in the face of global trade tensions, an autos slowdown and lingering uncertainty," Phil Smith, principal economist at IHS Markit, stated. "That said, some encouragement can be taken from the fact that the rate of decline in new orders eased for a third month running and future expectations returned – albeit only just – to positive territory," he added.
