Eurozone business activity showed slight improvement in July, with the composite PMI at 50.9 (just below the 51.0 preliminary reading), signaling modest growth. While Spain and Italy led the gains and Germany returned to expansion, France remained the weak link, with its services sector contracting further amid political and fiscal uncertainty. Employment continued rising, but declining productivity raises concerns about the sector's overall health.
