China's services sector grew at its fastest pace in three months in May, driven by stronger domestic demand and a rebound in overseas orders, with the PMI rising to 54.4. However, rising input costs pose challenges to profit margins. Meanwhile, India's services sector expanded at its fastest rate in six months, with the PMI reaching 59.8, supported by robust domestic demand, new business inflows, and easing input cost inflation. Both countries showed signs of economic stabilization amid global uncertainties.
