The Caixin China General Services PMI declined to 52.1 in November 2021 from 53.8 in the prior month, pointing to the weakest growth in three months, amid a rise in COVID-19 infections. Business activity and new orders expanded at the slowest pace in three months and only marginal overall, and export sales remained mild, while employment rose for the third month in a row and the fastest rate since May. On the cost front, input price inflation accelerated to a six-month high on rising in labour, raw materials, and energy costs. Meanwhile, output prices inflation slowed, due to softer in demand conditions. Looking forward, business sentiment strengthened on expectations that the pandemic will be brought under control globally and demand conditions will improve. “ The resurgence of local Covid-19 outbreaks had a bigger impact on demand than on supply,” Wang Zhe, Senior Economist at Caixin Insight Group said. source: Markit Economics

China Services Sector Rebounds
The Caixin China General Services PMI jumped to 53.4 in September 2021 from 46.7 in the prior month, moving away from the lowest level seen since the height of the pandemic last year. Both new orders and employment bounced back to the expansionary territory, as a major COVID-19 outbreak in the eastern province of Jiangsu eased. At the same time, outstanding business continued to increase, but at a slower pace. Meanwhile, new export sales shrank again, with the sub-index hitting its lowest in seven months due to the surging pandemic overseas. On the cost front, input prices rose for the 15th straight month and increased at a faster pace, on rising labor, freight, and raw material costs. Meantime, prices charged went up after falling in August. Looking forward, sentiment remained optimistic, with the gauge of business expectations rising further into positive territory, though remaining below its long-term average.
