Notizie del giorno
Gli ordinativi delle fabbriche tedesche nel mese di febbraio hanno segnato un dato del 4.8% vs lo 0.3% atteso.
Sempre da Berlino, l’indice PMI dei servizi di marzo ha segnato 53.7 vs 53.9 atteso. Nel Belpaese lo stesso dato ha segnato 55.7 vs 53.2 atteso e 51.6 del mese precedente. A livello macro, il PMI europeo ha segnato invece un dato di 55 vs 55.6 atteso. I dati, in generale, hanno mostrato un’espansione a marzo per il terzo trimestre consecutivo, anche se il quadro economico tra i vari Paesi rimane tutt’ora disomogeneo.
Che la settimana di Pasqua non fosse iniziata al meglio per gli States lo si era capito, ma questi giorni sono tutt’altro che in discesa. Tralasciando le mosse di Trump e le sue scelte sul processo in corso, gli ADP hanno registrato un valore di 145 mila, peggio delle attese che lo davano a 200 mila. Ad ogni modo gli USA sembrano scansare per ora la recessione: i PMI dei servizi, seppur sotto le aspettative, hanno entrambi registrato un livello maggiore di quota 50, segnando 52.6.
Giornata di dati anche nel Regno Unito: il PMI centra le attese di 52.2 e quello dei servizi è risultato pari a 52.9. Ottime notizie anche sul fronte Brexit: Londra infatti ha già concretizzato delle strategie per rendere più fluidi i controlli alle frontiere. Il nuovo modello costerà ai contribuenti un equivalente di 1 miliardo di sterline, una spesa necessaria per tornare ad agevolare gli scambi. In aggiunta sarà previsto che per molte merci non sarà più necessario nessun controllo fisico.

Debt Ceiling Agreement to go to House Vote
