The S&P Global Germany Services PMI was revised slightly higher to 49.7 in July of 2022 from a preliminary of 49.2, but still pointed to the first contraction in the services sector since December, amid a combination of waning client confidence and a squeeze on both household and company finances. New business fell for a second month but the labour market continued to show resilience as firms looked to expand capacity. At the same time, both input and output price inflation retreated further but remained elevated. Finally, business expectations turned negative for the first time since the first wave of covid-19 in 2020, due to concerns about high inflation and rising interest rates and prospect of a gas shortage. source: Markit Economics

Germany Services PMI Confirmed at 5-Month Low
The S&P Global Germany Services PMI was confirmed at 52.4 in June of 2022, matching initial estimates, and pointing to the slowest growth in services activity in five months, reflecting the easing of post-lockdown catch-up effects and rising economic uncertainty and sustained strong price pressures. New business fell for the first time in six months, partially due to renewed weakness in international client demand. Also, the pace of job creation eased notably to the lowest since March 2021 and price pressures remained elevated although output price inflation eased to a three-month low. Finally, business expectations were at their lowest since October 2020, reflecting concerns over weakening demand, rising prices, increasing interest rates and continued supply chain frictions.
