Euro Area Manufacturing PMI
In the Euro Area, the S&P Global 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.

Euro Area Manufacturing PMI Down to 22-Month Low
The S&P Global Eurozone Manufacturing PMI fell to 52.1 in June of 2022 from 54.6 in May, pointing to the slowest growth in factory activity since August of 2020, and slightly above preliminary estimates of 52. Production levels fell for the first time in two years, new business intakes and export orders both declined and backlogs of work also fell for the first time in almost two years as companies focused on completing unfilled orders due to falling demand. Elsewhere, there were further tentative signs of supply chains edging closer to stability as input lead times lengthened to the least marked extent in a year-and-a-half. There was also a softening of inflationary pressures as both input costs and output prices rose at slower rates. Finally, business sentiment fell to its weakest level since May 2020 as concerns surrounding the global economic outlook and inflation weighed on growth expectations.
