Euro area: April composite PMI increases strongly

The composite PMI rose further in April, surpassing expectations of a moderate increase. The improvement was driven by the services sector, while sentiment in the manufacturing sector remains depressed. This divergence is worrisome, but there is no denying that this is an overall solid report, consistent with a gain of momentum of the euro aera economy at the beginning of the second quarter.
