FRANKFURT (MarketWatch)
Manufacturing activity in the 17-nation euro zone
contracted at its fastest pace in more than three years in July, according to a
survey of purchasing managers released Wednesday
The Markit euro-zone
purchasing managers' index fell to a 37-month low of 44.0, down from 45.1 in
June and slightly below a preliminary estimate of 44.1
A reading of less than
50 signals a contraction in activity
Markit noted widespread weakness, with
almost all national PMIs below the 50 level
Ireland bucked the trend, rising to
a 15-month high at 53.9
"Output fell at the fastest rate since mid-2009,
consistent with the official measure of production falling at a quarterly rate
in excess of 1%
Manufacturing therefore looks to be on course to act as a major
drag on economic growth in the third quarter," said Chris Williamson, chief
economist at Markit
