The October 2025 ISM Services PMI showed the U.S. services sector returning to growth, with a reading of 52.4%, up from 50% in September. This marks the sector's eighth month of expansion in 2025 and signals continued overall economic growth for the 65th straight month. Business activity (54.3%) and new orders (56.2%) both rebounded strongly, while employment (48.2%) remained in contraction for the fifth month, reflecting cautious hiring. The Prices Index (70%) indicated faster inflation, reaching its highest level since October 2022. Supplier deliveries (50.8%) slowed slightly, typical of improving demand, while the backlog of orders (40.8%) contracted further, showing companies are keeping up with demand.



Eleven industries expanded, led by Accommodation & Food Services, Retail Trade, and Wholesale Trade, while six contracted. Key concerns among respondents included the federal government shutdown, tariffs driving up prices, and economic uncertainty, though demand remained relatively stable in areas like health care and retail.
