Details from the October 2016 US Markit services final report 3 November 2016
Flash 54.8. Sep 52.3
New orders 54.0 vs 53.8 flash. Sep 52.0
Composite 54.9 vs 54.9 flash. Prior 52.3
Employment 51.7 vs 51.5 flash. Prior 51.3
Talk about clutching at straws, services are at the highest since Nov 2015, on a final basis.
Anyway, it's still a good report but the buck isn't taking much notice. Only the quid is feeling the heat as that failure from 1.2500 takes hold.
