Swiss Manufacturing Growth Slows in September as Inflation Stalls
Switzerland’s procur*ch Manufacturing PMI fell to 55.3 in September from 57.1 previously, missing the 56.3 market consensus. The reading nevertheless remained comfortably above the 50 threshold, indicating continued expansion in the manufacturing sector.
Inflation data were softer. Swiss consumer prices were unchanged month over month in September, matching expectations but slowing from a 0.4% increase in August.
Taken together, the figures point to an economy where industrial activity is still expanding, but momentum has moderated and inflation pressures remain subdued.
