The latest preliminary Eurozone Manufacturing PMI for the second quarter of 2026 fell to 51.3, edging down slightly from the previous reading of 51.4 and coming in below some market consensus estimates of 51.6.

The future trajectory of inflation and the sustainability of demand will be key to the recovery.
