According to Odaily, the preliminary data for the United States' December Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) reveals mixed economic signals across various sectors. The S&P Global Services PMI recorded a preliminary value of 58.5, surpassing the expected 55.7 and the previous month's figure of 56.1. This indicates a stronger-than-anticipated performance in the services sector, suggesting robust growth and expansion as the year comes to a close.
In contrast, the manufacturing sector showed signs of contraction. The S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for December posted a preliminary value of 48.3, falling short of the anticipated 49.8 and the prior month's 49.7. A PMI reading below 50 typically indicates a contraction in the sector, highlighting challenges faced by manufacturers amid ongoing economic uncertainties.
The overall economic activity, as measured by the S&P Global Composite PMI, which combines both the services and manufacturing sectors, stood at a preliminary value of 56.6. This figure exceeded the expected 55.1 and the previous month's 54.9, reflecting a generally positive outlook for the U.S. economy despite the manufacturing sector's struggles.

The French service sector experienced its first contraction since October last year, according to a survey by S&P Global. According to Jin10, the final Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for services in January fell to 48.4, down from 50.1 in December, though slightly better than the preliminary reading of 47.9. This marks the first time the index has dropped below the 50 threshold since October. The composite PMI also decreased to 49.1 in January.
Despite these figures, S&P Global noted that France's approval of the 2026 budget this week could provide some support to businesses. Jonas Feldhusen, an economist at Hamburg Commercial Bank, commented, "At the start of the year, the French service sector faced setbacks with a noticeable lack of orders and cautious customer attitudes. However, business expectations have significantly improved, which is noteworthy. This optimism seems to stem from the belief that resolving the long-standing budget impasse will help reduce uncertainty, thereby supporting consumption and investment momentum."#FrenchServiceSector #Contraction #SPGlobal #PurchasingManagersIndex #PMI #January2026 #BusinessExpectations #FranceEconomy #2026Budget #EconomicOutlook #InvestmentMomentum

According to Jin10, a PMI survey indicates that France's private sector experienced its most significant contraction since October last year in March. This downturn is attributed to weak demand, supply disruptions related to the conflict with Iran, and public caution ahead of local elections. The preliminary composite PMI for March fell to 48.3, down from 49.9 in February. Joe Hayes, an economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, noted that while April's data might provide a clearer picture of the economic situation, the recovery in France's economy appears to have stalled for now. The services sector saw further weakening, with the services PMI preliminary reading dropping from 49.6 to 48.3, marking a five-month low. Manufacturing output also declined for the first time this year, with the related sub-index falling from 51.6 to 48.5, a four-month low, although the manufacturing leading index rose slightly from 50.1 to 50.2.#France #PrivateSector #Contraction #PMI #WeakDemand #SupplyDisruptions #IranConflict #LocalElections #EconomicDownturn #ServicesSector #ManufacturingOutput #Economy #S&PGlobal #JoeHayes
