HCOB Eurozone Composite PMI: actual 51.2; forecast 51.2; previous 51.0;
HCOB Eurozone Services PMI: actual 51.3; forecast 51.4; previous 50.5;

Services are keeping the euro-area recovery afloat: activity re-accelerated in September on a jump in new business, leaving the Eurozone Services PMI at 51.3 and the Composite at 51.2, which HCOB’s nowcast translates into roughly 0.4% q/q GDP growth. The rebound is broad but uneven: Spain outperformed (services 54.3), Italy held steady in expansion (services 52.5; composite 51.7), and Germany moved back into growth (services 51.5; composite 52.0), while France slipped further into contraction (services 48.5; composite 48.1). Price pressures in services eased a bit, still above long-run averages but lower than in August, bolstering the case of ECB members arguing against additional near-term cuts.
