The S&P Global Italy Manufacturing PMI fell to 50.9 in June of 2022 from 50.1 in the prior month, the lowest since June of 2020 but surpassing expectations of 50.5. Albeit at a slower pace, it was the 24th consecutive month of expansion in Italy’s manufacturing sector. Production levels were seen marginally higher, driven solely by backlogs of work since demand for new work plummeted to levels near survey-low, with firms citing economic uncertainty and higher prices for the decline in demand. On the price front, inflationary pressures remained elevated in June, driven by energy, fuel, and raw materials, but the rate of increase was slightly lower from the previous month. Still, manufacturers cited a steady increase in employment. Looking forward, lower expectations of future productions pressed business confidence to its lowest since March of 2020. source: Markit Economics
