The eurozone economy is in recovery despite a surprise slide in a key business activity indicator, dpa cited a research group as saying Thursday. The purchasing managers index (PMI) for the currency bloc's manufacturing and service sectors slipped to a two-month low of 52.7 this month, compared with 52.9 in January, London-based Markit said. Analysts had expected the PMI would edge up to 53.1 this month. A reading above 50 indicates an economic expansion.
