France PMI falls below the threshold across the board, Eurozone October Composite PMI preliminary value drops to 51.9, lower than expected
Dragged down by concerns over France's fiscal situation and political instability, its October composite PMI fell to 48.4, slipping into contraction; Germany maintained expansion but at a slower pace, pulling the Eurozone's composite PMI down to 51.9. The sell-off of French bonds and persistently high inflation have heightened market concerns over tighter financial conditions, and the market widely expects the European Central Bank to pause interest rate hikes in the near term.
