Japan Services PMI

The Nikkei Japan Services PMI dropped to a three-month low of 51.0 in December of 2018 from 52.3 in the previous month. Softer inflows of new work restricted the increase in output, as demand improved to the slowest pace since July. Nonetheless, the first rise in outstanding business for four months signalled a return of capacity constraints. To alleviate operational pressures, job creation accelerated to a three-month high. Looking ahead, confidence was elevated and held close to November’s recent high. Services Pmi in Japan is reported by Markit Economics.
