Investing.com -- A slowdown in Eurozone business activity moderated for a second straight month in December as supply conditions improved and price pressures showed signs of easing, according to a key gauge of conditions for the currency bloc's manufacturing and services sectors on Friday.

S&P Global's flash Eurozone composite purchasing managers' index rose slightly to 48.8 during the month, up from 47.8 in November. Economists had predicted the reading would increase to 48.0.

It is the highest level since August, but the sixth consecutive month that the figure has come in below the 50 mark that separates growth from contraction.
