BEIJING: Growth in China's services activity accelerated in July helped by new orders, although momentum in overseas demand eased to its slowest pace in 11 months, a private-sector survey showed on Monday.
The Caixin/S&P Global services purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 52.1 from 51.2 in June, pointing to expansion for the 19th straight month. The index covers mostly private and export-oriented companies and the 50-mark separates expansion from contraction on a monthly basis.
