Preview: European PMIs to Edge Down Further into Contraction

EUROPEAN DATA
MNI (London)
  • European PMIs are forecasted to edge down across the region for both manufacturing and services in this morning's October flash release.
  • Below are the consensus expectations for October, which indicate a weak start to Q4 for major economies, as many anticipate negative growth into year-end. Uncertain global economic outlooks, soaring inflation and rising interest rates continue to suppress demand in both services and manufacturing.
  • Steep contractions in output and/or slowing employment will be closely watched for, as well as signals of easing price pressures being sustained. Political turmoil will likely drag confidence lower for the UK and add to recessionary risks.
  • France will kick off the round at 0815 BST, followed by Germany (0845BST), the eurozone (0900 BST) and UK (0930 BST). The US flash data is due in the afternoon at 1445 BST.
