Dagens PMI data for Tyskland viser fremgang, men Markit ser afmatning i væksten de kommende måneder:
Oliver Kolodseike, Economist at Markit and author of the Flash Germany PMI® , said: “The latest flash PMI readings paint a mixed picture of the health of Germany’s private sector economy. While companies reported that output rose at a stronger rate than in May, the latest increases in new business and employment were only slight and suggest that activity growth may slow again in coming months.
Moreover, the survey data for the second quarter signal it is unlikely GDP growth has picked up since the first quarter. “Meanwhile, input prices rose further, as higher staff costs, exchange rate factors and increased prices for some raw materials continued to exert upward pressure on prices. While the rate of inflation slowed from May’s 31-month high, it was nevertheless one of the highest over the last year-and-a-half.”
