Europe's recession deepens

 The chart below shows the extreme-adjusted PMIs for manufacturing and services, and their unweighted average.  Being diffusion indices, when PMIs are below 50%, they show that the majority of components/respondents are falling.  Hence, it's called the 50% recession line.  All three time series are now below 50%, and falling.

The ECB (European Central Bank) is staggeringly inept.
