Manufacturing Spread that Favors Euroland Widened in June
July 1, 2021
The ISM U.S. manufacturing purchasing managers index settled back to a 5-month low of 60.6 in June, whereas the IHS-compiled euro area PMI rose to another record high. The U.S.-minus-Ezone differential between those two indicators of -2.8 in June was the most advantageous to Euroland such has been since January 2016. If the dollar continues to climb in value, Euroland may become even more price competitive than now. The IHS-compiled U.S. manufacturing PMI was unchanged in June from May’s record high but 0.6 points lower than its preliminary estimate reported a week ago.
