  • Prior 56.0

A decent miss for Italy. The composite reading is the lowest since January 2017.

While it is a minor data point, it's still one that feeds into overall Eurozone sentiment and how the economy is performing. And based on the recent turnaround after hitting the peak in December/January, not really good news to be honest.
