New Zealand's services sector showed notable momentum in December, with the Performance Services Index climbing to 51.5 from 46.9 in the previous month. The data points to accelerating activity in the service economy, marking the strongest expansion reading in recent months. This pickup in economic activity across the service sector could signal broader shifts in regional growth dynamics, worth monitoring for macro-driven asset allocation strategies.

According to data, New Zealand's services sector index jumped from 46.9 to 51.5, an increase of 9.7%—this growth rate is indeed noteworthy. However, the question is whether this cyclical rebound can be sustained. Historical data shows that similar expansions in the services sector are often accompanied by irrational rises in asset prices, so risk accumulation should be approached with caution.

The service industry data looks good, but can this rebound last? Or is it just another fleeting moment?

The service industry data is picking up, but speaking of New Zealand's recent rebound, is it reliable? Haven't they been fluctuating repeatedly before?
