Monthly sales in the eurozone retail sector fell for the first time since March last year in April. The drop reflected a sharp decline in Italy, while sales were stagnant in France and up marginally in Germany. The headline IHS Markit Eurozone Retail PMI - which tracks the month-on-month changes in retail sales in the bloc‟s biggest three economies combined - dropped to 48.6 in April, from 50.1 in March, signalling the sharpest decline for 17 months.
