Italy services PMI misses forecasts with sharp slowdown
Original: NEWS: Italy services PMI falls to 51.7 vs 54.5 forecast, 55.2 prior
Italy's services sector grew more slowly than expected in the latest reading, with the purchasing managers' index falling to 51.7, well below the forecast of 54.5 and down from 55.2 the previous month. The figure still points to modest expansion, but the size of the miss has drawn attention as a sign the eurozone's services momentum may be cooling.
Why now: The sharp miss versus both forecasts and the prior month suggests a sudden weakening in Italian services activity that matters for eurozone economic sentiment.
