The U.S. services sector showed a marginal but positive gain in momentum in September, with the S&P Global Services PMI inching up to 58.8 from 58.7 previously. Both readings, recorded for September 2026, underscore a solid expansion in the services economy, as PMI levels above 50 indicate growth.
Although the increase is slight, the latest reading suggests that service providers in the United States continue to experience robust activity, maintaining one of the highest expansion paces in recent periods. The updated data, released on 5 October 2026, reinforces the picture of a resilient services sector, which remains a key driver of overall U.S. economic performance.
