German PMI Flags Considerable Manufacturing Weakness, But Services Prices Stubborn

DATA REACT
PMI report highlights - Services prices still stubborn, but notable weakness in manufacturing:
  • German economy lost considerable momentum at the end of the second quarter
  • Inflationary pressures continued to ease during June, with manufacturers recording the first decrease in output prices for over two-and-a-half years
  • Service sector costs and selling prices continued to rise sharply, driven in part by higherwages and increasing interest rates
  • Sentiment amongst services firms, although still positive overall, was the weakest for six months
  • Weakness remained centred on the manufacturing sector, where order books fell at the sharpest pace for eight months

A second batch of poorer-than-expected PMIs adding extra weight to the EUR here: EUR/USD now through the 50-dma support and narrowing in on the 100-dma at 1.0809. EUR/JPY reversing hard off yesterday's cycle high - now down close to 175 pips.
