Both the manufacturing and the services PMIs fell, according to the "flash" estimates released by S&P Global for July. Once again, as in Australia:
- the "blip" has passed
- the average is below the 50% "recession line"
- services are still stronger than manufacturing, but are falling
Services have been supporting economies, with post-covid "revenge spending" on hotels, restaurants, holidays, air flights and shows strong as a result of catch-up demand. That strength in services is starting to fade.
