Markit Economics released its final manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) for Germany on Wednesday. Germany's final manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 51.9 in June from 51.1 in May, in line with a preliminary reading.

The increase was driven by a rise in output at consumer goods producers and in output in new orders.

"The overall expansions in output and new business were, however, well below levels seen at the start of last year," Markit economist Oliver Kolodseike said.
