ITALY DATA: Very little positive in the PMI manufacturing report

Apr-01 07:49

Nothing particularly positive in the Italian PMI manufacturing press release. It missed expectations by 1.4 points, falling to 46.6 from 47.4 (against an expected increase to 48.0). And most of the details were diappointing. The following highlights from the press release:

  • "Production volumes were lowered once again and at the fastest rate for four months.
  • "New orders continued to decrease at a sharp and steady pace
    in March, keeping firms in retrenchment mode."
  • "Sustained reduction in headcounts amid signs of excess capacity"
  • "Charges up after six months of discounting and despite softer cost pressures"
