The IHS Markit Spain Services PMI increased to 54 in October of 2018 from 52.5 in September, beating market expectations of 51.8. The reading pointed to the strongest expansion in the services sector in four months, centered on the financial intermediation and transport and storage categories. New business increased markedly, boosted by strong market conditions and the use of marketing and advertising. Also, backlogs of work continued to increase and job creation was the smallest in two years. On the price front, input price inflation was the highest in three months, amid rising costs for fuel and energy and labour costs while output prices rose only marginally. Finally, business confidence was little changed from September’s five-year low amid political uncertainties, both at home and abroad. Services PMI in Spain is reported by Markit Economics.
