US: Manufacturing PMI (June Prel.): 52.0 vs 51.0 expected (prior: 52.0)

• The PMI is unchanged in June, at the highest level since February, and employment rose to the highest level since June 2024.
• On the negative side, the index of prices paid surged by 5.4 pt to 70. A nearly similar increase in prices received suggests that producers are passing along higher costs, including higher tariffs.

US: Services PMI (June Prel.): 53.1 vs 53.0 expected (prior: 53.7)

• Modest decline at the headline level, but still solidly in expansionary mode, and significantly above April's level (50.8).
• Moreover, employment edged higher to 51.9 to the highest reading since January.
• This is consistent with US economy continuing to growth, even if the outlook remains uncertain, while inflationary pressures have clearly risen in the past two months.

US: Existing home sales (May): 4.03M vs 3.95M expected (prior: 4.00M)

• Existing home sales unexpectedly edged higher in May (+0.8%) despite the increase in mortgage rates.
• However, the median sales price for a single-family home is only up 1.3% y/y, down from 1.7% in April as affordability remains a challenge for buyers.

Eurozone: Manufacturing PMI (June Prel.): 49.4 vs 49.7 expected (prior: 49.4)

• Germany: 49.0 as expected (prior: 48.3)
• France: 47.8 vs 49.8 expected (prior: 49.8)
• New orders (+0.3pt to 50.0) and exports orders (+0.4pt to 49.9) have continued to trend higher. This trend was almost entirely attributable to Germany.
• The press release suggests that a turning point could have been reached in the German manufacturing cycle (beyond US demand front-loading in Q1).

Eurozone: Services PMI (June Prel.): 50.0 as expected (prior: 49.7)

• Germany: 49.4 vs 47.8 expected (prior: 47.1)
• France: 48.7 vs 49.0 expected (prior: 48.9)
• Germany drove the improvement thanks to outstanding business (+1.1pt to 48.5), new business (+0.8pt to 49.5) and new export orders (+0.6pt to 47.4). However, all these metrics remain in contractionary territory, indicating that services are only set to modestly fuel overall economic growth over the next months.

UK: Manufacturing PMI (June Prel.): 47.7 vs 46.8 expected (prior: 46.4)

• The PMI rose more than expected thanks to increases recorded in new orders (+3.9pt to 48.7), output and employment.
• However, manufacturing activity remains in contractionary territory while services appear to be regaining some momentum.

UK: Services PMI (June Prel.): 51.3 as expected (prior: 50.3)

• The subindices showed some improvement in outstanding (+1.4pt to 46.7) and new business (+1.8pt to 50.5) but a decline in firms' export orders assessment (-3.6pt to 46.1).
• As for manufacturing (+2.1pt to 44.5), the employment component (-0.7pt to 47.3) remains consistent with a weakening labor market, which should contribute to further disinflation in the coming months.
• Overall, this is largely consistent with muted private consumption growth.
