New Zealand's services sector showed stronger momentum in December, with the PMI climbing to 51.5, up from the previous month's 46.9. This marks a notable uptick in activity across the services industry, signaling improved business conditions. The jump above the neutral 50 mark suggests expanding economic output in the region's crucial services segment. Such macroeconomic shifts often influence broader market sentiment and asset allocation decisions, including those affecting crypto and digital asset markets. Investors typically monitor these regional economic indicators as part of their assessment of global growth trajectories and risk appetite.
