LONDON - Growth in euro zone business activity stalled this month as a tepid expansion in the bloc's dominant services industry failed to offset a deeper downturn among manufacturers, a survey showed on Wednesday.
Expectations about the coming year waned again, suggesting business managers do not expect an imminent turnaround.

Services firms faced a steeper increase in input costs this month but raised their prices charged at a shallower rate. The output prices index eased to 53.2 from 53.5.
The manufacturing PMI dipped to a seven-month low of 45.6 from June's 45.8. An index measuring output dropped to 45.3 from 46.1.
