标准普尔全球闪电澳大利亚服务业PMI商业活动指数从5月份的50.6升至6月份的51.8,标志着自2024年5月以来最快的扩张速度。这标志着服务业活动连续第17个月增长,这得益于新业务的稳步增长,特别是来自国内的业务。企业表示,更大的市场兴趣和不断扩大的客户群是关键驱动力,尽管外国需求急剧减弱,在国际游客减少的情况下以近3年半以来的最快速度下降。房地产和商业服务业引领了活动和新销售额的增长。随着公司增加员工以管理不断增长的工作量,就业人数继续增加,有助于缓解积压。由于燃料、劳动力和材料费用上涨,投入成本攀升,尽管成本通胀速度放缓至今年迄今为止的最低水平。受对需求增强和潜在降息的乐观情绪推动,商业信心升至2022年5月以来的最高水平。
The S&P Global Flash Australia Services PMI Business Activity Index rose to 51.8 in June, up from 50.6 in May, signaling the fastest pace of expansion since May 2024. This marked the 17th consecutive month of growth in services activity, supported by a solid rise in new business, particularly from domestic sources. Firms cited greater market interest and an expanding client base as key drivers, though foreign demand weakened sharply, falling at the steepest rate in nearly 3-1/2 years amid fewer international visitors. The real estate and business services sector led growth in both activity and new sales. Employment continued to rise, helping ease backlogs as firms added staff to manage growing workloads. Input costs climbed due to higher fuel, labor, and material expenses, though the pace of cost inflation eased to its lowest level so far this year. Business confidence rose to its highest since May 2022, driven by optimism over stronger demand and potential rate cuts.
