Eurozone Services PMI Sends Mixed Signals as Germany Improves, France Remains Weak

The latest HCOB Services PMI data painted a mixed picture for the eurozone economy in June, with Germany showing signs of improvement, Italy returning to modest expansion, while France remained in contraction.

Germany’s HCOB Services PMI rose to 48.6 in June from 48.1 in May, comfortably beating economists’ expectations of 46.8. Although the index remained below the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction, the stronger-than-expected reading suggests the downturn in Germany’s services sector is easing.

Italy also showed encouraging signs, with its Services PMI rising to 50.2 from 49.4. While the figure came in just below the consensus estimate of 50.3, it moved back above the 50 mark, indicating a return to modest expansion after contracting in the previous month.

France, however, continued to lag behind its eurozone peers. The country’s Services PMI improved to 46.8 from 44.3 but missed expectations of 47.4, remaining firmly in contraction territory.

Germany's June PMI data showed a slight deterioration in business activity, with weakness in the services sector offsetting stability in manufacturing.

The HCOB Germany Manufacturing PMI edged down to 50.0 from 50.1 in May, missing expectations of 50.3. While the reading remains at the threshold between expansion and contraction, it suggests industrial activity has largely stabilized after a prolonged downturn but is struggling to gain meaningful momentum.

More concerning was the services sector, where the HCOB Germany Services PMI fell to 46.8 from 48.1 in May, well below the 49.0 consensus forecast. The reading signals an accelerating contraction in Germany's largest economic sector and points to softer domestic demand.
