China and India Services Sectors Show Slowest Growth in Months Amid Weaker Demand
China's services sector growth slowed to a 10-month low in July due to weaker domestic demand, though exports continued to expand modestly. Meanwhile, India's services sector also saw its slowest growth in over four years, with softer domestic and export demand, intense competition, and fewer new orders weighing on activity. Despite this, both countries reported continued expansion above contraction thresholds, with India noting moderate job creation and easing input cost inflation, while export demand remained a key support factor for both economies.
