U.S. services sector momentum strengthened in May 2026, as the ISM Non-Manufacturing Business Activity index climbed to 57.7, up from 55.9 in April 2026. The latest reading, updated on 3 June 2026, signals a faster expansion in services activity across the world’s largest economy.
The move from 55.9 to 57.7 underscores solid demand in non-manufacturing industries, a crucial pillar of U.S. economic output. While no further details were provided on subcomponents such as new orders or employment, the headline improvement points to resilient business conditions in May and may support expectations of continued growth in the services segment heading into the middle of 2026.
