The Caixin China General Services PMI fell unexpectedly to 51.6 in July 2019 from 52.0 in the previous month and missing market expectations of 52.0. The latest reading pointed to the weakest pace of expansion in the service sector since February, as new order growth slowed, despite a solid rebound in export sales at services companies, while employment rose marginally. On the price front, operating expenses rose further, with the rate of inflation strengthening slightly from the prior month, due to higher costs of materials, fuel and staff. Companies raised their charges slightly, with some indicating that competitive pressures had restricted pricing power. Finally, sentiment remained upbeat overall, with the degree of positive sentiment being unchanged from June. Services PMI in China is reported by Markit Economics.
