Eurozone retail sales rose for the second successive month in June, according to the latest PMI survey data from IHS Markit. The headline IHS Markit Eurozone Retail PMI - which tracks the month-onmonth changes in retail sales in the bloc's biggest three economies combined - was little-changed from May's 51.7 at 51.8, signalling further modest growth. This followed a contraction in April, the first since March 2017.

The overall increase reflected strong growth in Germany, where monthly sales rose by the most since July 2015. In contrast, both France and Italy posted modest declines compared with May.
