PREVIOUS TRADING DAY EVENTS 06 Nov 2023
The Eurozone business activity downturn accelerated last month due to demand weakness. The PMI data are suggesting a growing chance of a recession in the 20country currency union. The economy contracted by 0.1 in the third quarter as per the PMI survey.
Final PMIs released today confirmed the preliminary estimates and are consistent with our forecast that eurozone GDP will contract again in Q4, said Adrian Prettejohn at Capital Economics. The outlook also looks very weak, with the new orders PMI falling to its lowest level since September 2012, excluding the early pandemic months, while exports were also particularly weak.
Services activity in Germany, Europes largest economy, slipped back into contraction in October, while in France it shrank again. Italian services activity contracted for a third month running and at its fastest pace in a year.
