European manufacturing resumes expansion while services ease
European manufacturing resumed expansion in October to 54.1 from 53.7 last month, exceeding economists' estimates of 53.2, while services eased to 53.2 compared with 54.1 a month earlier and median projections of 53.7.
THE services sector expanded at a slower pace in May, although the rate of growth in export orders picked up as the slump in business activity across the euro zone began to ease, a survey showed today.
