The Eurozone composite PMI fell to 48.8 in April (17-month low) and services PMI dropped to 47.6 (62-month low), both confirming contraction as the Middle East conflict weighs on economic activity. Simultaneously, inflation accelerated to a 40-month high with prices charged rising at the sharpest pace in three years, presenting a stagflationary backdrop. S&P Global warns the modest 0.1% quarterly GDP decline could deepen, with the ECB facing a difficult trade-off between combating inflation and avoiding further demand destruction.
