The Services ISM for October 2024 registered at 56, the highest since July 2022, indicating ongoing expansion in the services sector for the fourth consecutive month. Key metrics showed mixed performance: the Employment Index rose sharply to 53%, and the Supplier Deliveries Index increased, reflecting slower delivery times amid steady demand. Business Activity and New Orders indices dipped but remained in expansion territory, while concerns over political uncertainty and hurricane impacts persisted. Fourteen industries reported growth, led by Retail Trade and Information, with some industries, like Health Care, highlighting supply chain challenges and potential price increases due to natural disasters.
