German private sector activity grows for the first time in ten months.

The HCOB Germany Composite PMI increased to 50.5 in April 2024 from 47.7 the previous month, handily above market forecasts of 48.6, according to a preliminary estimate. The most recent measurement rose over the 50.0 no-change level for the first time since June 2023, indicating a moderate pace of increase in private sector business activity, aided by a substantial comeback in service sector production. However, manufacturing output continued to fall, although at a lesser rate. Total new business and backlogs of work fell to their lowest levels in almost a year, but employment rose slightly after falling the previous month. On the pricing front, both input prices and output charges increased more quickly. Finally, total company confidence fell somewhat as optimism in the service sector waned from March's 25-month peak.

Germany Manufacturing PMI remains subdued.

The HCOB Flash Germany Manufacturing PMI rose to 42.2 in April 2024 from 41.9 in March, slightly below than estimates of 42.8. The figure continues to suggest to a dramatic deterioration in manufacturing business conditions, with new orders dropping to their lowest level in five months and shorter delivery times indicating weaker demand. On the other side, production declined at a slower rate, job losses decreased, factory gate prices fell the most since September 2009, and confidence about future output increased. However, there are no signs that the modest recovery seen in the global inventory cycle has reached Germany.

Euro Area Manufacturing PMI Hits 4-Month Low.

The HCOB Flash Eurozone Manufacturing PMI dropped to 45.6 in April 2024, its lowest level in four months, down from 46.1 in March and below predictions of 46.5. The data continued to suggest to a sustained downturn in the industrial sector, even as output dropped at the weakest pace in a year and job losses had slowed somewhat. Furthermore, manufacturing input costs have continued to reduce, aided by improving supply circumstances. Otherwise, the outlook remains dismal, with new business and order backlogs both declining significantly. Weak demand for industrial goods was also obvious in the dramatic drop in the number of bought inputs and the lack of a turnaround in the inventory cycle.

Manufacturing output, on the other hand, continued to fall, although at a slower pace than the previous year.
