A business survey released Wednesday showed Spain's services sector continued to expand strongly in October but at a slower pace as new business growth cooled and export sales fell. S&P Global Market Intelligence's Spain services PMI business activity index eased to 57.2 in October from 58.3 in September, remaining above trend.
