Markit retail PMI's for the Eurozone 6 March 2017
Eurozone 49.9 vs 50.1 prior
Germany 51.2 vs 50.3 prior
Italy 45.5 vs 45.6 prior
France 51.1 vs 53.1 prior
While the Eurozone recovery may be slowly picking up speed, they're not seeing the same consumer activity that the likes of the US and UK have seen, and that highlights how fragile this recovery may be. The main January retails sales were poor last week, and these PMI's suggest things won't be much better in Feb.
