The latest ISM Services Index for September 2025 showed mixed results, with the overall Services PMI at 50% (indicating no expansion or contraction), while New Orders at 50.4% showed slight growth and the Employment Index contracted at 47.2%.

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.

U.S. services sector activity unexpectedly flatlined in July with little change in orders and a further weakening in employment even as input costs climbed by the most in nearly three years, underscoring the ongoing drag of uncertainty over the Trump administration's tariff policy on businesses. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said on Tuesday its nonmanufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) slipped to 50.1 last month from 50.8 in June. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the services PMI would rise to 51.5. A PMI reading above 50 indicates growth in the services sector, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy.

A reading above 50 signifies expansion, while a reading below 50 suggests contraction. The ISM Services PMI report also noted an acceleration in price growth during that period.

US service sector rebounds in July; employment also recovers. U.S. services sector activity rebounded from a four-year low in July amid a bounce back in new orders and the first increase in employment in six months, which could help to quash fears of a recession that have been sparked by a surge in the unemployment rate last month and an ongoing stock market sell-off. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said on Monday that its nonmanufacturing purchasing managers (PMI) index increased to 51.4 last month from 48.8 in June, which was the lowest level since May 2020. A PMI reading above 50 indicates growth in the services sector, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy. The ISM views readings above 49 over time as generally indicating an expansion of the overall economy.

US service sector sags in June as orders sink. A measure of U.S. services sector activity slumped to a four-year low in June amid a sharp drop in orders, potentially hinting at a loss of momentum in the economy at the end of the second quarter. The Institute for Supply Management said its nonmanufacturing purchasing managers (PMI) index dropped to 48.8 last month, the lowest level since May 2020, from 53.8 in May. It was the second time this year that the PMI had dropped below 50, which indicates contraction in the services sector.

US services sector activity rebounds at 52.3 while private payrolls growth slows. The U.S. services sector snapped back into growth mode in May after a short-lived contraction in the prior month, with a measure of business activity improving by the most in three years, according to a survey published on Wednesday that may buttress the Federal Reserve's wariness of a shift to interest rate cuts. At the same time, a gauge of hiring among private employers showed firms last month added the fewest jobs since January and small businesses shed jobs for the first time in six months, fresh signs that a tight labor market is easing back into balance.

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.
