The S&P Global US Services PMI was revised higher to 55.7 in August 2024 from a preliminary of 55.2, pointing to the strongest growth in the services sector since March 2022. Business activity rose at the fastest pace in almost two-and-a-half years amid stronger new order inflows. Also, companies were able to keep on top of workloads and outstanding business was broadly stable. On the other hand, employment decreased following two months of job creation. Input costs continued to increase sharply amid higher supplier charges and rising salaries. However, the rate of selling price inflation eased to a seven-month low. Finally, service providers were again optimistic that their business activity will rise over the coming 12 months, with confidence often reflecting expectations that new orders will continue to increase.
