1. Italy's service sector grew for the sixth consecutive month in June
Italy's services sector expanded for the sixth straight month in June, albeit at a slower pace than the previous month, a survey showed on Wednesday. This is due to the continued growth of new business in the eurozone's third-largest economy. Italy's services PMI came in at 53.7 in June, down from 54.2 in May but still well above the 50 cut-off line. HCOB economist Tariq Kamal Chaudhry said that despite a slight decline compared to the previous month, the index of business activity in the services sector remained strong. In stark contrast to service providers, Italy's PMI for small-scale manufacturing contracted for the third consecutive month in June. The composite PMI fell to 51.3 from 52.3 in May, the lowest level since February, but remained above the 50 threshold for the sixth consecutive month.
2. Economists: German service sector activity continues to expand at a steady pace
Dr. Cyrus de la Rubia, chief economist at Commerzbank Hamburg, said that the service sector is the backbone of the German economy. Despite a slight weakening of momentum, service sector activity continues to expand at a solid pace. Despite being more cautious than in May, businesses are still hiring. After remaining largely unchanged over the past two months, the decline in backlog is a bit worrying. We tend not to over-read this data, as the slowdown in consumer price inflation and higher wage agreements are supporting people's purchasing power. In addition, according to some respondents, the European Football Championship, which has already had a positive impact, will enter a "hot phase" in July. Against this backdrop, new export businesses, including tourism, have been on the rise since May. Therefore, we are optimistic that the services sector will continue to grow.
3. The British service sector slowed down before the election, and PMI data showed that GDP growth expectations are still optimistic
Joe Hayes, chief economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said we are seeing some signs of stagnation in the UK services sector ahead of the election, with business activity growth slowing to a seven-month low in June as the prospect of a change of government has led some businesses to take a 'wait-and-see' approach, dampening sales. Still, based on the composite PMI data for the three months to June, we are still on track for another quarter of GDP growth, although the pace will not be as strong as the 0.7% growth in Q1. Prices in the UK services sector as a whole remain highly sticky, despite input cost inflation falling again in June.
4. Agency: Oil demand is expected to weaken in 2025
Oil demand is expected to soften next year due to oversupply driven by non-OPEC countries, analysts at BMI, a research arm owned by Fitch, said. Oil production from non-OPEC countries, excluding the United States, will grow at an average rate of 858,000 b/d this year this year and 940,000 b/d next year, higher than in any two years since 2005, according to the research firm. BMI expects Brent crude to fall to $82 a barrel next year, but said it is considering lowering its estimate.
5. The sharp increase in zinc production by Russian enterprises is aimed at meeting growing domestic demand
Russian companies have increased zinc metal production over the past month to benefit from rising national demand and reduce dependence on raw material destinations, two people familiar with the matter said. Russia produces only a small proportion of the world's zinc production for galvanized steel, but it will exacerbate the tightness of the global zinc concentrate ore market. CRU analyst Tom Rutland said Russia will be able to produce 322,000 tonnes of refined zinc from the Chelyabinsk and Verkhny Ufaley smelters by 2027, up from 205,000 tonnes last year.
