S&P Global Market Intelligence deputy head of economics Phil Smith said September’s rebound in German business activity reinforces preliminary signs of services-sector recovery seen over recent months. Continued improvement in new orders signals stronger corporate resilience, with September marking the most marked expansion since November. The recovery is notable amid a re-acceleration of energy-related input-cost inflation in the past month: services input-cost inflation in September rose to levels comparable with April’s spike when oil first surged. A fuel-tax cut at the start of October is expected to slow the pace of inflation increases, offering some relief to firms and consumers.
