HCOB Eurozone Composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)

Latest Release

Dec 04, 2024

Actual

48.3

Forecast

48.1

50.0

The PMI monthly Composite Reports on Manufacturing and Services are based on surveys of over 300 business executives in private sector manufacturing companies and also 300 private sector services companies. Data is usually released on the third working day of each month. Each response is weighted according to the size of the company and its contribution to total manufacturing or services output accounted for by the sub-sector to which that company belongs. Replies from larger companies have a greater impact on the final index numbers than those from small companies. Results are presented by question asked, showing the percentage of respondents reporting an improvement, deterioration or no change since the previous month. From these percentages, an index is derived: a level of 50.0 signals no change since the previous month, above 50.0 signals an increase (or improvement), below 50.0 a decrease (or contraction).

The Fed has lost its way. Thinking the Federal Reserve really has the power to prevent a recession is nuts. This is most probably because US markets are at all time highs. Recessions are a part of life. This can only come to a bad ending. Milton Friedman is turning over in his grave. Most likely Keynes is doing the same. Can someone help us?
