Manufacturing production continued to rise markedly, while inflows of new orders increased at the slowest rate recorded over the past five months. At the same time, employment declined at a softer rate and work-in-hand was up for a fourth successive month. On the price front, input cost inflation hit a near two-year high, while selling prices increased only slightly. Looking ahead, business confidence was the strongest since March 2018, due to encouraging news of vaccine developments in recent weeks. source: Markit Economics

Euro Area Manufacturing PMI
In the Euro Area, the Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 3,000 manufacturing firms. National data are included for Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, the Republic of Ireland and Greece. These countries together account for an estimated 90% of Eurozone manufacturing activity. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.
