Services PMI remains in contraction mood at 47.7 in June

03 Jul 2015 Evaluate

The Services sector has extended the contraction trend for the second straight month in June, with new orders declining for the first time in 14 months. The Nikkei Services Business Activity Index posted 47.7 in June, down from 49.6 in May to its lowest level since March 2014. The index remained below the crucial 50 mark, which separates growth from contraction, for the second straight month.

The major cause of the drop in services activity was a further contraction in new business, with June’s reduction in new work being the quickest since December 2013. Business activity fell in five of the six monitored categories, the exception being Hotels & Restaurants, with survey panelist terming competitive pressures and extreme heat the reason.

Incoming new work across the private sector as a whole fell, ending a 13-month sequence of growth. Though, despite the lack of incoming work, services companies indicated that outstanding business increased during June.

Confidence among Indian service providers remained strong in June, with service providers raised employment further in June. The rate of job creation was, however, only marginal and slower than the long-run series average. Manufacturing workforce numbers were broadly unchanged in the latest month. Input prices faced by Indian services firms rose at a softer pace in June, with inflation well below the series average.

The seasonally adjusted Nikkei India Composite PMI Output Index recorded below the crucial 50.0 threshold for the first time since April 2014, coming at 49.2, from 51.2 In May. The reductions were mainly centered at service providers, as manufacturing production rose during the month. June’s service sector data disappointed, with reductions in both activity and new business accelerating since May.
