2024年4月，HCOB欧元区制造业PMI为45.7，与初步估计的45.6相比变化不大，低于3月份的最终数字46.1。最新数据表明，欧元区制造业商业状况的恶化速度略快，因为新订单流入的速度更大，是今年迄今为止最快的。与此同时，产出收缩连续第二个月放缓至一年来最慢速度，就业水平继续下降，尽管总体下降幅度不大，是七个月来最慢的。供应商的交货时间再次缩短，最大限度地缩短了八个月。在价格方面，投入成本和产出费用的降幅都有所扩大。最后，商业情绪连续第二个月增强，达到2022年2月以来的最高水平。

The HCOB Eurozone Manufacturing PMI came in at 45.7 in April 2024, little changed from the preliminary estimate of 45.6 and below March's final figure of 46.1. The latest reading signaled a slightly faster rate of deterioration in euro area manufacturing business conditions, as the inflow of new orders declined at a steeper pace, the sharpest in the year-to-date. Meanwhile, output contraction eased for a second consecutive month to the slowest pace in a year, and employment levels continued to fall, although the rate of decline was modest overall and the softest in seven months. Suppliers’ delivery times once again shortened, to the greatest extent in eight months. On the price front, both input costs and output charges extended their decrease. Finally, business sentiment strengthened for a second successive month and reached its highest level since February 2022.

2024年3月，意大利工业生产者价格较上年同期下降9.6%，为6月以来最低，较上年同期的10.8%有所回落，标志着连续第十一个月出现年度生产者通缩。国内市场的价格下降了12.7%，而国外市场的价格则下降了1.3%至2%。意大利经济中生产者价格的持续通缩继续归因于能源价格的基数效应，因为去年供应冲击后新的石油和天然气供应链导致能源成本下滑28.1%。与此同时，中间产品的价格下降了5.6%。消费品和资本品的PPI分别上涨1.1%和0.3%，限制了跌幅。生产者价格较上月下降0.2%。

Industrial producer prices in Italy fell by 9.6% from the corresponding period of the previous year in March of 2024, the least since June, easing from the 10.8% decline in the earlier period to mark the eleventh consecutive month of annual producer deflation. Prices dropped by 12.7% in the domestic market, compared to the 1.3«2% drop in the foreign market. The persistent deflation for producer prices in the Italian economy continued to be attributed to base effects for energy prices, as new supply chains for oil and natural gas following last year's supply shock drove energy costs to slide by 28.1%. In the meantime, prices fell by 5.6% for intermediate goods. Limiting the decline, the PPI rose by 1.1% for consumer goods and 0.3% for capital goods. From the prior month, producer prices fell by 0.2%.

2024年4月，HCOB德国制造业PMI从3月的41.9升至42.5，超过了预计的42.2。总体指数的上升部分是由于产量下降放缓，产量以三个月来最慢的速度下降，主要是受中间产品表现改善的推动。然而，新订单在第二季度初出现了更深的下降，这是自11月以来新订单总量的最大降幅。从积极的方面来看，新出口订单以一年来最慢的速度下降。与3月份相比，裁员有所减少，但幅度仍然很大。投入价格以14个月来最慢的速度下降，而产出价格则经历了自2009年9月以来的最大跌幅。尽管制造商对未来一年更有信心，但与历史标准相比，总体乐观情绪仍然相对较低。

The HCOB Flash Germany Manufacturing PMI rose to 42.5 in April 2024, up from 41.9 in March, exceeding the projected 42.2. The increase in the headline index was partially due to a slower decline in production, with output decreasing at the slowest pace in three months, largely driven by improved performance in intermediate goods. However, new orders saw a deeper decline at the beginning of the second quarter, with the largest decrease in total new work since November. On a positive note, new export orders fell at the slowest rate in a year. Job cuts decreased compared to March but remained significant. Input prices declined at the slowest rate in 14 months, while output prices experienced the sharpest drop since September 2009. Although manufacturers were more confident about the year ahead, the overall optimism was still relatively low compared to historical norms.
