Switzerland, in contrast, remained in contraction with its manufacturing PMI slipping to 47.4 versus 49.8 expected, though services stayed in expansion at 52.4 despite easing from 53.8. Overall, the data point to a tentative manufacturing stabilization in the eurozone, set against a still-soft industrial backdrop in Switzerland.
