The latest released flash estimate for the Eurozone Services PMI in Q2 2026 fell to 46.4, continuing its decline from the previous value of 47.4, and missing market expectations. Impacted by surging energy costs driven by Middle East geopolitical conflicts, the services sector faces a double blow of rising costs and weak demand. Looking ahead, inflationary pressures and a high-interest-rate environment threaten to keep the Eurozone economy mired in recession in the short term.
