October data indicated a robust and accelerated expansion of U.S. private sector business activity. The upturn was supported by the fastest rise in manufacturing production for eight months, alongside another robust increase in service sector output.

The seasonally adjusted IHS Markit Flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index rose to 55.7 in October, from 54.8 in September. As a result, the latest reading signalled the fastest upturn in private sector output since January.

However, growth of overall new business volumes moderated further from the two-year peak seen in August. This reflected a slowdown in the service sector, as manufacturing firms reported the strongest rise in new work since March.

The recent strong growth of the euro area economy was maintained at the start of the final quarter of the year, driven by another marked improvement in new orders. Rising workloads encouraged firms to take on extra staff at the sharpest pace in over a decade.

The IHS Markit Flash Germany Composite Output Index was at 56.9 in October, down slightly from September's 77-month high of 57.7, but nonetheless registering one of the highest readings seen since 2011.

Commenting on the Japanese Manufacturing PMI survey data, Joe Hayes, Economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the survey, said: "Although still improving solidly, the Japanese manufacturing sector appeared to lose some momentum in October, as growth eased from September's fourmonth high. Softer expansions were seen for both output and new orders. Meanwhile, firms continued to largely absorb cost pressures, with output price inflation only marginal again in October. "Signs of slowing growth coincided with faltering optimism, as the level of positive sentiment fell to an 11- month low."
