German S&P Global Services PMI Final (Mar) 50.9 vs. Exp. 51.2 (Prev. 53.5)
Importance
Level 1
- "Higher prices at the fuel pumps and heightened levels of uncertainty have weighed on spending and caused business activity growth to slow sharply to its weakest for seven months in March."
- "Despite sharply rising costs, service providers haven't been able to push through greater price increases to customers, with the weaker demand environment leading to the slowest rate of services price inflation for three months in March."
- "The lack of pricing power in the service sector is important from a monetary policy perspective, as it limits the amount of upward pressure on core inflation, a measure that the ECB will be closely watching when considering interest rate increases."
