Investing.com — Business activity in the eurozone slid to its lowest level in 16 months in June, as soaring inflation and rising interest rates took a bite out of demand and soured the economic outlook, according to a preliminary survey on Thursday.

Data firm S&P Global said its flash June composite purchasing managers index – which combines data from the currency bloc’s service and manufacturing sectors – slumped to 51.9 points, down from 54.8 in May, and below analyst estimates.

However, a reading above 50 still indicates expansion.
