Italy Manufacturing PMI

The IHS Markit Italy Manufacturing PMI edged down to 47.4 in March of 2019 from 47.7 in February, matching market expectations. The reading pointed to the sixth straight month of contraction in the manufacturing sector and the sharpest since May of 2013. Output and new orders declined as demand conditions continued to deteriorate both domestically and abroad. Additionally, new business from abroad fell in March at a rate just shy of December 2018's near six-and-a-half year record. Also, employment rose marginally, input prices slowed while output price inflation quickened. Optimism regarding the year ahead outlook for output was sustained in March, but concerns over further contractions in customer demand and a continuation of negative market trends meant sentiment weakened from February. Manufacturing PMI in Italy is reported by Markit Economics.
