The European Foundry Industry Sen­ti­ment Index (FISI), pub­lished monthly by European Foundry Fed­er­a­tion (EFF), con­tin­ues to oper­ate in a chal­len­ging eco­nomic envir­on­ment marked by uneven demand, weak indus­trial momentum, and grow­ing uncer­tainty about future mar­ket con­di­tions. Accord­ing to the latest data the sec­tor shows signs of sta­bil­iz­a­tion in some seg­ments, while con­fid­ence regard­ing the next six months remains fragile.
