The U.S. non-manufacturing sector is showing signs of recovery, as indicated by the recent figures from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). The ISM Non-Manufacturing Business Activity Index has climbed to 54.2 in June 2025, reflecting a notable uptick from the previous reading of 50.0 in May. This rise suggests a strengthening in the business activity within the country's service industry.
The increase to 54.2 marks the first step beyond the threshold of 50, a critical indicator associated with expansion in the non-manufacturing sector. This growth in business activity points toward renewed confidence and a potentially positive trajectory for the U.S. economy after previous months of stagnation.
Data updated on July 3, 2025, confirms this favorable trend, positioning the non-manufacturing sector as a hopeful component in the nation's broader economic landscape. Stakeholders and market participants will likely keep a close eye on upcoming figures to ascertain whether this upward momentum will continue in the coming months.
