S&P Global announced that, after seasonal adjustment, Australias S&P Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) final reading for April was revised upward from the previous 46.3 to 50.7, above market expectations and confirming the flash estimate of 50.3. The index returned to expansion territory, although the growth was modest.

Local service providers saw a rebound in business activity in April, mainly supported by continued job growth. New orders declined for a second consecutive month, with a mild contraction that was slightly faster than in March, primarily due to higher fuel costs driven by the Middle East conflict, which weakened clients purchasing capacity. New business from overseas, however, stabilized and returned to growth.

On prices, input cost inflation accelerated sharply MoM, marking the fastest increase since August 2022, with more than 43% of surveyed firms reporting rising costs. Output prices were raised accordingly, posting the largest increase since January 2023. Employment increased for the sixteenth consecutive month, with hiring gaining momentum compared with March. Backlogs of work declined for a second straight month, with the steepest drop since November 2024. Optimism about business activity over the coming year was unchanged from March but remained below the long-term average. Firms hope that an early end to the Middle East conflict will support a recovery in new orders.

Australias April Composite PMI final reading was also revised upward, from the previous 46.6 to 50.4, above market expectations and confirming the flash estimate of 50.1. Overall business confidence softened to a 22-month low. (da/j)~
