The IHS Markit Eurozone Composite PMI increased to 51.8 in May of 2019 from 51.5 in the previous month and above preliminary estimates of 51.6. The latest reading pointed to the fastest expansion in the private sector since February. The services activity growth accelerated (PMI at 52.9 from 52.8) while manufacturing contracted further (PMI at 47.7 from 47.9). New orders increased slightly for the third month and firms were also able to reduce their overall backlogs of work for a third consecutive month. The rate of job creation continued to rise, albeit a slower pace than in April. On the price front, input cost inflation moderated to the second-lowest in the past two and-a-half years and output price inflation eased to its weakest level since November 2016. Finally, business confidence, undermined by ongoing worries over Brexit, US-China trade and European political instability, fell in May to its lowest level since the start of the year.
