标准普尔全球闪电澳大利亚服务业PMI商业活动指数从6月的51.8升至7月的54.1,为2024年3月以来的最高水平,标志着服务业的扩张更加强劲。新业务的急剧增长推动了扩张,主要是在国内市场,而出口需求在经历了四个月的收缩后趋于稳定。房地产和商业服务领涨,公司增加了管理工作量的招聘,连续第三个月减少了积压。在材料、燃料和劳动力成本上涨的推动下,投入成本通胀加剧,促使企业以近两年来最快的速度提价。虽然整体情绪保持积极,但由于成本担忧和经济不确定性,商业信心跌至九个月低点。然而,由于扩张计划和潜在的降息,一些公司仍然持乐观态度。
The S&P Global Flash Australia Services PMI Business Activity Index rose to 54.1 in July from 51.8 in June, marking the highest level since March 2024 and signaling a stronger expansion in the services sector. The expansion was fueled by a sharp rise in new business, mainly in the domestic market, while export demand stabilized after four months of contraction. Real estate and business services led the gains, and firms increased hiring to manage workloads, reducing backlogs for a third straight month. Input cost inflation intensified, driven by higher material, fuel, and labor costs, prompting firms to raise prices at the fastest pace in nearly two years. While overall sentiment remained positive, business confidence slipped to a nine-month low amid cost concerns and economic uncertainty. Some firms, however, remained optimistic due to expansion plans and potential interest rate cuts.
