The S&P Global US Services PMI rose to 52.3 in May of 2025 from the 17-month low of 50.8 in the previous month, ahead of market expectations of 50.8, according to a flash estimate.
Businesses received higher amount of new orders in the period despite the aggressive drop in orders from foreign markets, which was the sharpest on record when excluding the pandemic, indicating that tariffs and unpredictable economic policy by the government continued to impact businesses.
