The performance of German
manufacturing improved, with the HCOB Manufacturing PMI index
rising to 43 points in the second reading in October, up from
40.6 points in September, when the lowest level in the previous
12 months was recorded. However, the data goes far beyond "under
the neutral value of 50 points and still reports a contraction
taking place in the sector," according to a note.
