Eurozone manufacturing activity continued to ease in September as supply-side constraints dampened production, survey results from IHS Markit showed on Friday. The final manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 58.6 in September from 61.4 in August. This was the lowest since February and below the 'flash' print of 58.7. The headline index logged its largest fall since April 2020.
New orders and production signaled considerable moderations in growth. New export orders rose at the slowest pace since January.
