The unemployment rate in the eurozone remained stable at 6.2% in January. European Statistics Bureau Tuesday.

This is unchanged from 6.2% in December, down from 6.5% in January 2024.

The broader EU rate is 5.8%, slightly lower than 5.9% in December.

“The unemployment rate in January was slightly lower than our expected 6.3%, with slightly revised performance over the past few months,” Ankita Amajuri, an assistant economist at capital economics, said in a note.

She added: “While the low unemployment rate indicates that the labor market is still tight, there are other signs that the demand for workers in businesses is eased. Vacancies are falling, survey indicators of hiring intentions are falling, and the number of layoff workers in Germany is increasing.”

“We think unemployment will start to rise soon after due to the weak economic outlook in the recent period, although we suspect any increase will be small.”

mainland German auto suppliers reported higher profit savings in efficiency, but stocks fell by 8% after full-year sales declined, CEO Nikolai Setzer said the company “expected not to expect any headwinds this year.”

Merged sales fell 4.1% year-on-year to €39.7 billion (US$41.8 billion), with adjusted free cash flow falling to €1.3 billion, down from €1.05 billion a year ago. Adjusted operating profit increased by 6.6% to €2.7 billion.
