Both the NAB and separate Roy Morgan business confidence readings continue to decline while the AIG Services PMI, something of a real-time gauge on activity within the Australian services sector, fell to 43.6 in October, the lowest level recorded since August 2013. This is a stark contradiction to the the NAB survey which has business conditions in services sitting at a multi-year high. (VIEW LINK)
