Big 8 PMI dips in March

The chart shows the PMI and year-on-year change in industrial production for the "big 8" countries/zones (The USA, Euro zone, China, Japan, Brazil, Russia, India, UK).

Economic activity continues to slow.  Even though the extreme-adjusted PMI is below the 50% "recession line", the year-on-year percentage change in industrial is still slightly positive.  All the same, the trends are clear.  Two different indicators from different sources show the same thing:  a rapidly slowing economy.
