UAE's PMI slips to lowest level in four years over geopolitical tensions
Geopolitical headwinds continued to weigh on non-oil activity in the UAE, with July's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) slipping to its lowest level in four years. The seasonally adjusted S&P Global UAE dropped more than a point to 52.9 in July, down from the previous month's 53.5, implying the rate of growth was softer than the survey's long-run trend. The survey signalled the weakest growth in non-oil business conditions since June 2021, as regional tensions continued to weigh on sales. A further slowdown in new business growth made some clients hesitant to commit to new spending, the report said. Hiring and purchasing growth also suffered, while output expanded sharply as firms sought to prevent further increases in backlogs of work. Additionally, a quicker rate of cost inflation led to a fresh rise in average prices charged. Despite higher orders compared to June, survey panellists were weighed down by weaker tourism activity and global trade disruptions. 'New order volumes helped firms to expand, but this trend is declining, with the latest data indicating the softest rise in incoming new work in almost four years,' David Owen, Senior Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said. 'While survey members partly link this slowdown to tensions between Iran and Israel, which has made some clients hesitant to spend, there were also many suggesting that markets are becoming more crowded, making it increasingly difficult to secure new orders,' he added. The PMI for July indicated overall increase in output remained strong, with some firms reporting output increased in response to new sales opportunities, rising client incomes, and the clearance of pending work. Employment rose slightly, but marked the weakest uplift in four months, coinciding with a steeper rise in outstanding business. Stocks of inputs fell for the third time in five months, which was partly linked to backlog clearance efforts and some delays in the receipt of supplied items. Higher costs for shipping, raw materials, wages and capital, also weighed on firms, with the overall rise in input prices being the fastest since April. Projections for future activity remained optimistic in July, driven by hopes of strengthening demand levels. However, the degree of confidence eased slightly, as some companies highlighted risks stemming from global economic uncertainty and heightened competition. 'Should regional tensions ease, we may see a recovery in sales growth in the coming months… Nevertheless, the ongoing trends of rising competition, limited inventory, constrained hiring growth and relatively low confidence among surveyed firms suggest that downside risks remain elevated,' Owen added. Dubai PMI The Dubai non-oil private sector rose in July, rising to 53.5 from a 45-month low of 51.8 in June, amid a recovery in demand growth. The survey attributed new orders to the recovery, which indicated a sharper improvement in sales volumes compared to June. Survey participants reported better business conditions and an increase in new client enquiries. As a result, Dubai non-oil firms expanded output at the sharpest rate in five months while continuing efforts to increase employment and inventories. The survey indicated that although input costs rose at the fastest pace since April, overall inflationary pressures remained relatively modest. Consequently, non-oil firms raised their selling prices at the slowest rate in eight months. (Writing by Bindu Rai, editing by Brinda Darasha)

India services growth hits 11-month high in July on stronger exports, PMI shows
BENGALURU: Growth in India's services sector accelerated to an 11-month high in July, driven by strong international demand and sustained domestic sales, a survey showed on Tuesday. The HSBC India Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) , compiled by S&P Global, inched up to 60.5 in July from 60.4 in June, confounding a preliminary estimate that showed a drop to 59.8. PMI readings above 50.0 indicate growth in activity on a monthly basis while those below point to a contraction. The latest reading showed the dominant services sector has been expanding for four years. The new export business sub-index - a key gauge of international demand - showed a marked acceleration in July, registering the second-strongest expansion in a year. Total new business remained robust despite easing slightly from June's pace, supported by advertising efforts and new client acquisitions. Among service categories, finance and insurance emerged as the top performer for both new orders and business activity, while real estate and business services recorded the slowest growth. Despite robust demand firms significantly slowed the pace of hiring to a 15-month low. Price pressures intensified in July as firms faced higher costs for food items, freight and labour. Service providers passed these increases on to customers, with the rate of charge inflation slightly exceeding input cost inflation. Any acceleration in inflation could affect the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy decision-making. The central bank is expected to hold its repo rate steady at 5.50% at its August 4-6 meeting but cut its key policy rate once next quarter, according to a Reuters poll. Business confidence improved as firms anticipated benefits from marketing initiatives, technological innovation and growing online presence. The HSBC India Composite PMI Output Index, which includes manufacturing, edged up to 61.1 in July from 61.0 in June, indicating the strongest expansion since April 2024.

Fed's Daly says time is nearing for rate cuts, may need more than two
San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly on Monday said that given mounting evidence that the U.S. job market is softening and no signs of persistent tariff-driven inflation, the time is nearing for interest rate cuts. "I was willing to wait another cycle, but I can't wait forever," Daly said of the Fed's decision last week to leave short-term borrowing costs in their 4.25%-4.50% range rather than cut them, as a couple of her colleagues wanted and as President Donald Trump has demanded. While that doesn't mean a September rate cut is a lock, she said, "I would lean to thinking that every meeting going forward is a live meeting to think about these policy adjustments." The two quarter-point interest-rate cuts that Fed policymakers back in June penciled in for this year still "look to be an appropriate amount of recalibration, and less important is, does it happen in September and December than does it happen at all kinds of permutations to get those two cuts." Daly said there is still plenty of data including a couple of labor market and inflation reports due out before the Fed's policy-setting meeting, in September, and she's keeping an open mind. "We of course could do fewer than two (rate cuts) if inflation picks up and spills over or if the labor market springs back," Daly said. But "I think the more likely thing is that we might have to do more than also should be prepared in my judgment to do more if the labor market looks to be entering that period of weakness and we still haven't seen spillovers to inflation." A Labor Department report Friday showed U.S. employers added just 73,000 jobs last month, and massive revisions to previously reported data showed only 33,000 jobs were added in the two prior months. Those figures, to Daly's mind, don't mean the job market is precariously weak - in times of economic flux, she said, raw employment numbers are often less informative than ratios like the unemployment rate, which ticked up just a tenth of a percentage point in July to 4.2%. Still, she said, looking at a broad dashboard of labor-market measures, there is "evidence after piece of evidence" that the labor market is softening quite a bit compared to last year. "I would see further softening as an unwelcome result," she said. "I'm comfortable with the decision we made in July, but I am increasingly less comfortable with making that decision again and again." At the same time, she said, there's no evidence that tariff-driven price increases are seeping more broadly into inflation, and if the Fed waits long enough to be certain it won't -- a process that could take six months or a year, she said - the Fed will "for sure" be too late to move. The Fed is approaching a "tradeoff space where you are trying to make a judgment about where does policy need to be to continue to put downward pressure on inflation, and where does it need to be to continue to make sure that sustainable employment can be achieved," she said. "That's why I didn't think that July was a necessary change, but I do think, increasingly, policy is not aligned."
