Australia Commonwealth Bank Services PMI

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia Services PMI dropped to 49.1 in August 2019 from 52.3 in the prior month, slightly below a preliminary reading and market expectations of 49.2, final data showed. The reading pointed to the first contraction in services activity since March, as new orders increased at the softest pace in four months amid weak domestic and foreign demand. Also, new export sales advanced at the slowest rate in over two years and the accumulation in the level of unfinished work slowed. Meanwhile, following a decline in July, companies raised staff numbers in August, mainly driven by an increase in operational requirements. On the price front, input cost inflation eased while output prices advanced at the fastest pace since March. Finally, sentiment improved as confidence rose to the highest level in seven months amid optimism regarding planned market expansions, new product launches, marketing activities, and an expected improvement in consumer confidence. Services Sentiment in Australia is reported by Markit Economics.
