FXStreet Forex NewsLO·US·1 day ago
The US preliminary composite PMI for July reached 53.6, surpassing the consensus forecast of 52.2. This expansion indicates stronger-than-anticipated economic activity, potentially complicating the Federal Reserve's outlook on cooling growth.
The US private sector demonstrated accelerated growth in July, with the preliminary S&P Global Composite PMI rising to 53.6, exceeding expectations and reaching an eight-month high. Conversely, France's Composite PMI improved to 49.6, indicating a moderation in the pace of economic contraction, though remaining below the expansion threshold. The divergence between robust US growth and continued, albeit moderating, contraction in France highlights varied economic trajectories.
