Euro-NowNat: weaker growth momentum
After today’s release of the September PMIs Euro- NowNat shows a downward revision of its growth forecast for the remainder of the year. The model now see s sequential GDP growth at 0.3% in Q3 and 0.4 % in Q4 . After being more optimistic on growth than our official forecast, this downward revision brings Euro- NowNat in line with our judgmental forecast. Weak data from the industrial sector through the summer are mostly responsible for the downward revision of Q3 growth . Euro- NowNat , however, signals some re- acceleration in growth towards the end of the year.
