The IHS Markit Brazil Services PMI edged up to 54.9 in October of 2021 from 54.6 in the prior month. The latest reading pointed to the fifth successive month of expansion in the services sector and the second-highest in over nine-and-a half years, linked to growing vaccine coverage, reduced Covid-19 cases, and rising employment. New business activity expanded markedly, uplifting monthly expansion in output among the fastest seen since early 2012. Further, capacity expansion efforts helped firms clear outstanding business, as backlogs of work declined at the quickest pace since May. On the other hand, output charged inflation was the highest in the near 15 years of data collection, as input costs rose at a near record pace, driven by higher prices for electricity, food, fuel, and gas. Lastly, business confidence remained positive, but eased from previous months due to lower purchasing power for households and concerns over the 2022 general election. source: Markit Economics
