No change to initial estimates for the overall Eurozone indicator - as opposed to softer final figures seen from France and Germany. But still, relative to July manufacturing growth has eased as optimism continues to dwindle in light of the trade rhetoric between the EU and the US. Future output index shows a fall from 62.4 to 61.0 - the second lowest reading since the end of 2015.
