闪存数据显示,2024年4月,澳新银行日本综合采购经理人指数从一个月前的51.7升至52.6。这是私营部门活动连续第四个月增长,也是自去年8月以来最强劲的增长速度,因为服务业是11个月来增长最快的,而工厂活动在前10个月下降后显示出接近稳定的迹象。在就业加速和积压工作持续积累的情况下,新订单稳步增长。与此同时,对外销售收缩速度较慢。在价格方面,由于材料、能源和工资成本的上升,投入成本加快。日元走弱也起到了重要作用。公司将不断上涨的成本转嫁给客户,导致平均费用以一年内最快的速度上涨。展望未来,信心依然乐观,表明经济活动的扩张可能在短期内延续。
The au Jibun Bank Japan Composite PMI was up to 52.6 in April 2024 from a final 51.7 a month earlier, flash data showed. It was the fourth straight month of growth in private sector activity and the strongest pace since last August, as the service sector expanded the most in 11 months while factory activity signaled a near stabilization following declines in the prior 10 months. New orders rose solidly, amid an acceleration in employment and sustained accumulation of backlogged work. At the same time, foreign sales contracted at a weaker rate. On prices, input cost quickened due to higher material, energy, and wage costs. The weaker yen played a significant part, as well. Firms passed on rising costs to customers, leading to the fastest rise in a year for average charges. Looking ahead, confidence remained upbeat, suggesting that expansion in activity may extend in the near term.
