The U.S. ISM Services PMI climbed 1.9 pts to 52.0 in August. That was better than expected and marked the highest level since February, suggesting resilience in the still-expanding services sector despite some headwinds. The new orders gauge jumped nicely to the highest level since October 2024 on sturdy demand, while business activity continued to expand. Meanwhile, after faltering below the 50-mark in July, the imports index jumped to the highest level since the start of 2024. However, that's where the good news ends, with the rest of the details rather lacklustre. |

The headline ISM Services PMI figure rose to 58.3 in March 2022 from 56.5 the month before, a tad lower than the expected rise to 58.4, according to the latest release from the Institute of Supply Management. U.S. services industry activity picked up in March, boosted by the rolling back of pandemic restrictions, but businesses continued to face higher costs as supply strains persisted. The Institute for Supply Management said on Tuesday its non-manufacturing activity index rebounded to a reading of 58.3 last month from a one-year low of 56.5 in February. That ended three straight months of declines in the index and also signaled a shift in spending back to services from goods. |

The end of the omicron impact is likely to be impacting the soft ISM Services PMI report, so expectations should be high that a rebound occurs in March. |

In November, the Services PMI® registered 69.1 percent, a 2.4-percentage point increase compared to the October figure of 66.7 percent. This is the highest reading since the inception of the index in 2008. The 12-month average is 62.1 percent, which reflects strong and sustained demand in the services sector. The November reading indicates the services sector grew for the 18th consecutive month after two months of contraction and 122 months of growth before that. A reading above 50 percent indicates the services sector economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates the services sector is generally contracting. |

U.S. service sector index hits record high in October; shortages worsening - ISM survey
A measure of U.S. services industry activity surged to a record high in October likely as declining COVID-19 cases boosted demand, but businesses remained burdened by snarled supply chains and the resulting exorbitant prices. The Institute for Supply Management said on Wednesday its non-manufacturing activity index vaulted to a reading of 66.7 last month. That was the highest since the series started in 1997 and followed a 61.9 reading in September. A reading above 50 indicates growth in the services sector, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. |

| ISM SERVICE INDEX |
What is it ?
It's a gauge of new business orders from the Institute for Supply Management. The Non Manufacturing Business Activty Index is also referred to as the services index, or service sector index because this index measures activity in the services sector, the dominant sector in the US, and the one creating most of the jobs we have seen of late. Think of it as the B list of economic data reports.
The inventory, which can translate to investment opportunities and guidance in managing a portfolio.
The ISM Service Index / Non Manufacturing Business Activty Index is made up of:
1. Business Activity,
2. New Orders,
3. Employment and
4. Supplier Deliveries, all equally weighted.
New orders are an indicator of future business activity,
How to Read the Chart
A reading above 50% indicates the non- manufacturing sector economy is generally expanding; below 50% indicates the non-manufacturing sector is generally contracting.
The ISM non-manufacturing report comprises largely, but not exclusively, the service sector activities that make up the lion's share of total U.S. economic output. The report follows the release earlier in the day of better-than-expected hiring data, and the release earlier in the week of the ISM's contractionary factory sector report.
