US Markit prelim services PMI 52.4 vs 54.7 expected

  • Lowest since Sept 2016 on services
  • Prior was 54.5
  • Manufacturing 55.0 vs 53.9 expected
  • Prior manufacturing 53.9
  • Composite 53.0 vs 54.5 prior
Soft on services but strong on manufacturing. The 15-month low is a bit concerning on the services side but it's still well-above 50 and given some of the other strong US metrics, it's probably safe to ignore it (and the market is doing just that).
