China service sector expands at slower pace in June
RTTNews reports that survey results published by IHS Markit showed that China's service sector expanded at a much slower pace in June as the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases and reduced travel dampened overall new business.
In June, the services PMI fell notably to 50.3 from 55.1 in May. Nonetheless, the index has remained above the neutral 50 mark for the fourteenth successive month.
The slower upturn in business activity coincided with a softer increase in overall new work. New work from abroad meanwhile increased only marginally. Employment across the service sector fell for the first time in four months.
On the price front, the survey showed that input price inflation eased to the lowest since September 2020. Services companies lowered their average output charges for the first time in nearly a year in June.
Although services companies remained strongly upbeat regarding the year-ahead outlook for activity, the resurgence of the COVID-19 virus dampened overall optimism in June. Moreover, the degree of positive sentiment slipped to a nine-month low.
