PMI fra Markit- læs hele meddelelsen her
“The flash PMI signalled a further easing in the pace of German economic expansion entering the second half of 2017. Output and new orders both increased at the slowest rates since January, with new business in the service sector rising at the weakest pace in ten months.
“That said, the overall picture is one of strong underlying growth. The easing seen in July follows the strongest quarter in six years, and manufacturing continued to expand at a historically sharp rate. New export order growth in the goodsproducing sector accelerated slightly and suppliers remained under substantial pressure.“
The employment data also strengthened in July, underpinned by faster job creation in services. This reflects ongoing positive sentiment generally, with the Future Output Index little-changed from its June level and remaining elevated. IHS Markit’s full-year forecasts for GDP growth in both 2017 and 2018 remain at 2.0% in calendar-adjusted terms, the strongest since 2011.”
