The IHS Markit Italy Services PMI dropped to 49.2 in October of 2018 from 53.3 in September, well below market expectations of 52. The reading pointed to the first contraction in the services sector since May of 2016 as new business grew only marginally and at the weakest pace in over three-and-a-half years amid subdued client demand. Also, job creation was the slowest in 14 months due to the non-replacement of retirees and productivity improvements; backlogs of work increased only marginally; selling prices fell for the ninth month and input prices rose. Finally, business confidence remained strong although it was weaker than seen on average in the year-to-date. Services PMI in Italy is reported by Markit Economics.
