-- Italy's private sector returned to expansion territory in April, with the service sector's renewed new business intake mitigating the impact of a decline in manufacturing orders.
The Italy Composite PMI Output Index stood at 50.5 in April, up from 49.2 in March, S&P Global said Wednesday.
On the services side, the PMI was 49.8, compared with the previous 48.8 and expected 47.9, according to Investing.com data.
