Australia Commonwealth Bank Services PMI

The Commonwealth Bank Services PMI in Australia rose to 52.4 in September 2019 from 49.1 in the previous month, but slightly below a flash estimate and market expectations of 52.5, final estimates showed. The latest reading pointed to the strongest expansion in the services sector in three months, as new orders increased at the steepest pace since June, driven by marketing activities and low interest rates. Also, export orders advanced boosted by a weaker currency and service providers expanded their workforce numbers for the second straight month. On the price front, input cost inflation accelerated, mainly due to higher prices of energy, wage increases and drought-related disruptions while output charges rose at the softest pace in five months. Finally, sentiment improved about the outlook, as the Business Expectations Index went up to a 13-month high, amid improved economic conditions, an anticipated recovery in the housing market, promotional activites and new service offerings. Services Sentiment in Australia is reported by Markit Economics.
