The S&P Global Eurozone Services PMI came in at 48.5 in November 2022, little-changed from 48.6 recorded in both the preliminary estimate and October's final reading. The figure signaled a fourth straight month of falling output levels across the service sector, at a rate that was the fastest since February 2021. Incoming new business contracted for a fifth month running, with the pace of decline unchanged from October’s 20-month record. Meanwhile, the rate of job creation was the weakest in just over a year-and-a-half, while the level of work pending completion dropped for the second time in the past three months. On the price front, input costs and output charges both increased sharply, although rates of inflation were at their weakest in three months in both instances. Looking ahead, business confidence picked up, but remained subdued. source: Markit Economics

Euro Area Services Activity Continues to Contract
The S&P Global Eurozone Services PMI was revised higher to 48.6 in October of 2022 from a preliminary of 48.2, but still pointed to a third consecutive month of falling services activity and the biggest since February last year, due to weaker demand. New orders went down for a fourth month and output fell the most since February 2021 while backlogs of work moved higher and job creation remained strong. Also, service sector operating costs rose at a sharp pace once again, with companies opting to at least partly pass these on to clients through higher selling charges. That said, rates of inflation slowed in both cases. Finally, there was a slight pick-up in business expectations, although the level of confidence in the outlook was the second-weakest since May 2020.
