Business activity in Germany contracted for a fourth straight month in October as manufacturing's downturn was matched by a renewed decline in services, a preliminary survey showed on Tuesday, suggesting a recession is well underway.

The HCOB German Flash Composite Purchasing Managers' Index , compiled by S&P Global, fell to 45.8 in October from September's 46.4, below the 46.7 forecast by economists.The composite PMI index tracks the services and manufacturing sectors that together account for more than two-thirds of the German economy, Europe's biggest.

Business activity in the services sector was unexpectedly back in contraction territory after slight growth the month before, with the reading falling to 48.0 from 50.3 in September.
