Activity in Italy’s sector of manufacturing probably expanded in July, with the corresponding PMI coming in at a reading of 52.8, as expected by experts, from 52.6 in June. Values above the key level of 50.0 indicate increased activity. Markit Economics is expected to release the official data at 7:45 GMT.

France’s final manufacturing PMI probably remained in the zone of contraction for a third straight month in July, while confirming the preliminary PMI reading of 47.6, which was reported on July 24th. The official reading is due out at 7:50 GMT.

The final reading of German manufacturing PMI probably confirmed the preliminary value for July, with the index coming in at 52.9. Markit will release the official reading at 7:55 GMT.

The final manufacturing PMI in the Euro zone probably also confirmed the preliminary value for July, with the index remaining at 51.9. The official reading is scheduled to be released at 8:00 GMT. The PMI is based on a monthly survey, encompassing a sample of business entities, which represents private sector conditions in terms of new orders, output, employment, prices etc. Higher than expected readings would provide support to the 18-nation common currency.
