The reading marked the lowest level in six months, but still well above the 50-threshold that demarcates expansion and contraction.

Sunday's data came on the heels of the manufacturing data that showed activity quickened to the highest level in more than two years in July, reinforcing signs that the economy is firming up on government support policies.
