Eurozone PMI preliminary ‘flash’ estimate data released earlier on Tuesday showed that Eurozone economy has maintained its excellent momentum in May. IHS Markit's Flash Composite Purchasing Managers' Index for May, seen as a good guide to growth held out at 56.8, the same reading as in April. Job creation surged to one of the strongest recorded over the past decade amid improved optimism about future prospects.
Manufacturing led the upturn, with output growth accelerating to the fastest in over six years. Flash Eurozone manufacturing PMI came in at 57.0, a 73-month high, compare to a reading of 56.7 in April. Service sector business activity growth also remained strong, easing only marginally to 56.2 from April’s six-year peak of 56.4 to underscore the broad-based nature of the upturn.
"The consensus forecast of 0.4 percent second quarter growth could well prove overly pessimistic if the PMI holds its elevated level in June," said Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at IHS Markit.
Average selling prices for goods and services rose at the second-fastest rate since July 2011. However, input cost inflation eased slightly to a five-month low suggesting that price pressures could be easing a little in the months ahead. Declining price growth will suggest ECB could stay on course with its expansionary policy stance.
“Although the pace of economic growth signalled by the PMI is historically consistent with the ECB taking a hawkish stance, the dip in cost pressures will add weight to arguments that there’s no rush to taper policy,” adds Chris Williamson.
