The S&P Global/ ME Germany Manufacturing PMI for Germany was revised slightly higher to 49.3 in July of 2022 from a preliminary of 49.2, but still pointed to the first contraction in factory activity since June of 2020. New orders shrank the most in over two years due to a reduction in investment spending, elevated prices, high stock levels at customers and continued to supply chain frictions. Factory production levels likewise showed a sustained decline, whilst goods producers pared back their purchasing activity for the first time since mid-2020 amid a rapid build-up of inventories and a deteriorating outlook. The fall in demand for inputs was reflected in an easing of supply chain pressures and a further softening of the rate of cost inflation while output inflation slowed to the lowest in 15 months. Employment levels continued to rise although at a slower pace. Meanwhile, business expectations were the lowest since May 2020. source: Markit Economics

German Factory Activity Shrinks for 1st Time in 25 Months
The S&P Global Germany Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.2 in July of 2022 from 52 in June, pointing to the first contraction in factory activity since June of 2020, and compared to market forecasts of 50.6, preliminary estimates showed. Output and new orders were the worst since May 2020, with a squeeze on client budget, widespread uncertainty related to the war in Ukraine, worries over energy security, and ongoing difficulties in the supply-chain continued to negatively impact on sales. Meanwhile, cost inflation remained elevated due to energy and commodities, a weaker euro as well as rising interest rates although the inflation slowed to the lowest in nearly a year-and-a-half. Finally, business confidence tumbled to the lowest since May of 2020.

Germany Manufacturing PMI Confirmed at 1-1/2-Year Low
The S&P Global/BME Germany Manufacturing PMI fell to 52 in June of 2022 from 54.8 in May, pointing to the slowest growth in factory activity since July of 2020, and in line with preliminary estimates. New orders fell for a third month amid growing headwinds to demand, and output also declined amid persistent supply shortages although for others a fall in demand was the driving factor behind lower output. Meanwhile, input price inflation eased to 16-month low, a sign of the alleviation of some supply-chain pressures and factory gate charge inflation went down sharply to it slowest so far this year. At the same time, employment remained robust, reflecting long-running efforts to expand capacity. Finally, firms grew more pessimistic about the outlook, owing to concerns about a combination of high inflation, continued supply disruption and shrinking order books.
