Third CAEF survey: consistent picture of Covid-19 impact
The third CAEF survey clearly shows that the foundry industry will need some time to catch up. In the coming weeks and months, the most important factor will be getting the pandemic back under control. The rising numbers in large parts of Europe are particularly worrying.
European Foundry Industry Sentiment
After a sharp drop and its lowest level in May, the Business Climate Indicator for the euro area recovered for the third time in a row in August. However, the signs of recovery have so far not been reflected in the mood among foundries. The European Foundry Industry Sentiment, as a result, has recorded a negative sign for the sixth consecutive month since February.
