Economic activity in the services sector expanded for the seventh consecutive month in January, say the nation's purchasing and supply executives in the latest Services ISM® Report On Business®. The Services PMI® registered 52.8 percent, indicating expansion for the 53rd time in 56 months since recovery from the coronavirus pandemic-induced recession began in June 2020. The report was issued today by Steve Miller, CPSM, CSCP, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) Services Business Survey Committee: “In January, the Services PMI® registered 52.8 percent, 1.2 percentage points lower than the seasonally adjusted December figure of 54 percent. The Business Activity Index registered 54.5 percent in January, 3.5 percentage points lower than the seasonally adjusted 58 percent recorded in December. After seasonal adjustments, this is the 56th consecutive month of expansion for the index. The New Orders Index recorded a reading of 51.3 percent in January, 3.1 percentage points lower than the seasonally adjusted December figure of 54.4 percent. The Employment Index remained in expansion territory for the fourth consecutive month; the reading of 52.3 percent is a 1-percentage point increase compared to the seasonally adjusted 51.3 percent recorded in December. “The Supplier Deliveries Index registered 53 percent, 0.5 percentage point higher than the 52.5 percent recorded in December. This is the second consecutive month the index has been in expansion territory, indicating slower supplier delivery performance. (Supplier Deliveries is the only ISM® Report On Business® index that is inversed; a reading of above 50 percent indicates slower deliveries, which is typical as the economy improves and customer demand increases.) “The Prices Index registered 60.4 percent in January, a 4-percentage point decrease from December’s seasonally adjusted reading of 64.4 percent. The index has registered two consecutive readings above 60 percent after being below 60 percent since February 2024. The Inventories Index was in contraction territory in January for the third month in a row, registering 47.5 percent, a decrease of 1.9 percentage points from December’s figure of 49.4 percent. The Inventory Sentiment Index expanded for the 21st consecutive month, registering 53.5 percent, up 0.1 percentage point from December’s reading of 53.4 percent. The Backlog of Orders Index remained in contraction territory for a sixth consecutive month, registering 44.8 percent in January, a 0.5-percentage point increase from the December reading of 44.3 percent. “Fourteen industries reported growth in January, five more than the previous month’s total.

We have been suggesting that that the clarity provided by the clean election outcome would lead companies that delayed investment and hiring on election/regulatory uncertainty to start putting money to work. That is seemingly the case based on the latest ISM purchasing managers’ indices. Last week’s manufacturing showed both output and news posting decent gains and today’s services ISM index has also come in stronger than expected with the headline reading rising to 54.1 from 52.1, above the 53.5 consensus. Business activity looks ...

Economic activity in the services sector expanded for the sixth consecutive month in December, say the nation's purchasing and supply executives in the latest Services ISM® Report On Business®. The Services PMI® registered 54.1 percent, indicating expansion for the 52nd time in 55 months since recovery from the coronavirus pandemic-induced recession began in June 2020. The report was issued today by Steve Miller, CPSM, CSCP, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) Services Business Survey Committee: "In December, the Services PMI® registered 54.1 percent, 2 percentage points higher than November's figure of 52.1 percent. The reading in December marked the 10th time the composite index has been in expansion territory this year. The Business Activity Index registered 58.2 percent in December, 4.5 percentage points higher than the 53.7 percent recorded in November, indicating a sixth consecutive month of expansion and finishing the year with its third-highest reading for 2024. The New Orders Index recorded a reading of 54.2 percent in December, 0.5 percentage point higher than November's figure of 53.7 percent. The Employment Index remained in expansion territory for the fifth time in six months; the reading of 51.4 percent is a 0.1-percentage point decrease compared to the 51.5 percent recorded in November. "The Supplier Deliveries Index registered 52.5 percent, 3 percentage points higher than the 49.5 percent recorded in November. The index returned to expansion territory — indicating slower supplier delivery performance — to split the year, with six months each in expansion and contraction.

ISM Services surged to 54.1 (from 52.1 prior and better than the 53.5 expected) However, below the surface things are not so awesome as Prices Paid exploded from 58.2 to 64.4 and employment slipped to 51.4. Producers remain challenged by a strong dollar, potential tariffs (Trump Effect) and general uncertainty from dockworkers’ contract negotiations that are set to resume Tuesday. 'Inflation' expectations are at their highest since Feb 2023 - not at all what Powell and his pals want to see (or maybe it is).
