German PMI Manufacturing

The German PMI Manufacturing index is a monthly survey by S&P Global measuring business conditions in Germany's manufacturing sector. As Europe's largest economy, Germany's PMI reading is closely watched and can influence the euro and European equity markets.

Example

When the German Manufacturing PMI fell below 50 for the third consecutive month, EUR/USD dropped as traders feared a broader economic slowdown in the eurozone.
