Fundamental view

The advance manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) in the euro zone will probably remain unchanged at 53.0 in April, matching March’s reading, according to the median estimate by experts. The index is based on a monthly survey, which includes carefully selected companies that are representative of the state of the private sector in the economy and track the changes in production, new orders, market share, employment and prices in the manufacturing sector. The PMI is the first economic indicator for each month, providing information on the changing economic conditions, significantly earlier than the official state statistics. It is presented as a scale from 1 to 100. Readings above 50 are connected with a positive outlook for economic growth. Conversely, values ​​below 50 indicate a less optimistic forecast. This is a preliminary value of the indicator.

The advance services PMI probably improved to 52.5 in April from 52.2 in the previous month, according to the median analyst’ estimate. The index is also based on a monthly survey, and shares the same characteristics with the manufacturing PMI, with the only difference that it measures economic activity in the services sector. This is a preliminary assessment of the indicator.

Markit Economics is scheduled to release an official report at 08:00 GMT. Higher-than-expected readings would provide support for the euro.
