“Interestingly, the decline in the French Manufacturing PMI appears to have been driven by capacity shortages, not by demand, while in Germany, the indicator was fell on the back of lower demand. While the Manufacturing PMIs hit 18-month lows, they remain comfortably in expansionary territory, as do their Services counterparts, suggesting continued at-trend growth in the euro area in 2018Q2.”
