According to UBS’s statement on Wednesday, industrial PMI decreased by 4.3 points to 40.6 points in October. (Formerly CS) calculates the index together with procure.ch, the Swiss Association for Purchasing and Supply Management. The forecast values ​​of economists surveyed by the AWP news agency were in the range of 43.0 to 45.5 points.

Production fell more sharply than in the previous month, and lower orders offer little reason to hope for a quick recovery, according to experts.

In July, the PMI index fell to 38.5 points, its lowest level since 2009. PMI values ​​of 50 points and above indicate growth and are therefore positive. Values ​​below 50 points indicate a decline.

The services sector PMI, which focuses more on domestic consumption, performed better. Despite the decrease, it still remained above the growth threshold at 52.2 points (-0.6 points), indicating slightly positive dynamics in the sector.
