11:01 am 5 August 2024

  • Eurozone Services PMI: 51.9 (expected: 51.9; prior: 52.8)
  • Eurozone Composite PMI: 50.2 (expected: 50; prior: 50.9)
  • Germany Services PMI: 52.5 (expected: 52; prior: 53.1)
  • Germany Composite PMI: 49.1 (expected: 48.7; prior: 50.4)
  • France Services PMI: 50.1 (expected: 50.7; prior: 49.6)
  • France Composite PMI:  49.1 (expected: 49.5; prior: 48.8)
  • Italy Services PMI: 51.7 (expected: 53; prior: 53.7)
  • Italy Composite PMI: 50.3 (prior: 51.3)
  • Spain Services PMI: 53.9 (expected: 56.2. prior: 56.8)

PMI indices for the Eurozone's services sector are presenting a mixed picture. On the one hand, we see significant disappointment from Spain, a decline in France compared to the preliminary reading, and a considerably lower reading in Italy.

The composite index for the Eurozone maintains a position above 50 points, even though for the largest economies, most industrial indices are below 50 points. Moreover we can see that recent publications are positive for the stock market and DE40 erases some decreases from the first hour of the session:
