The U.S. ISM Non-Manufacturing Prices Index remained unchanged in April 2026, holding at a high 70.7, the same level recorded in March 2026. According to the latest data updated on 5 May 2026, price pressures in the services sector show no sign of easing, with the index firmly in territory typically associated with strong input cost increases.
The steady reading at 70.7 suggests that service providers continue to face elevated costs for goods, labor, and other inputs, even as broader inflation dynamics remain in focus for policymakers and markets. With prices still running hot in the non-manufacturing segment, investors and analysts are likely to view this persistence as a signal that underlying inflationary forces in the U.S. economy remain robust through the spring of 2026.
