2월 EZ 제조업 활동은 소폭 완화 - PMI
금요일에 발표된 설문 조사에 따르면 유로존 제조업 활동은 2월에 약간 둔화되었지만 해당 부문의 위축이 완화되고 있다는 징후가 계속해서 나타났습니다.
The Hamburg Commercial Bank manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) fell to 46.5 from January's 46.6). The PMI output index was unchanged at 46.6. A mark above 50 indicates expansion.
"The headline index was broadly unchanged from January’s 10-month high of 46.6 and signalled the second-slowest deterioration in manufacturing sector conditions since March 2023," HCOB said.
"Further tentative signs of recovery in the euro area manufacturing sector were evidenced with forward-looking indicators such as new orders and purchasing activity signalling their softest falls in close to a year in February. Production levels decreased midway through the first quarter, although the rate of contraction held steady."
Chief HCOB economist Cyrus de la Rubia said the eurozone’s one-year industrial recession "is not coming to an end. Output has declined again at the same pace as the previous month, mainly due to the heavyweights Germany and France".
"Spain, by contrast, is the first of the leading four euro countries to re-enter growth territory. On a slightly more positive note, the decline in new orders in the eurozone has softened somewhat, offering a glimmer of hope for a potential demand recovery in the future."
