The Caixin China General Services PMI for April was 52.5, down 0.2 ppts from March, but still in expansionary territory. This was mainly driven by sustained improvement in domestic and external demand, with the service sector sentiment maintaining expansion in April, albeit at a slightly slower pace.

The PMI breakdown showed that supply and demand in the service sector were both strong, with the Business Activity Index and New Orders Index continuing to remain above the 50 threshold in April. The New Orders Index and New Export Orders Index rose slightly in the expansionary range, hitting new highs since June and July 2023 respectively.

Similarly to manufacturing, the impact of improved demand was not yet felt in the job market, with the service sector Employment Index remaining in contractionary territory for the third successive month, and dipping to its lowest level since 2023 in April.

Service sector prices continued to rise. The service Input Price Index edged higher in April, as raw material, energy and labour costs increased in the expansionary range. The service sector Selling Price Index rose for the third month in a row, as service sector firms raised their selling prices to cope with rising cost pressures. Along with improving market conditions, service sector business confidence continued to grow, with the Expectations Index rising above the threshold in April, although it remained on the low side compared to its long-term average.
