While the German Manufacturing PMI for August 2026 is forecast below 44.0 (open Cassandra prediction), the services sector has shown significantly more resilience since early 2025. The Eurozone Services PMI Final for August 2026 is estimated above 52.0 (open Cassandra prediction). Germany's Services PMI remained above 51.5 from January to July 2026. A drop below 51 in August 2026 would require an unusually sharp deterioration — possible but not the likely base case.
