États-Unis PMI Services

The S&P Global US Services PMI was revised lower to 55.2 in September 2024 from a preliminary of 55.4, slightly down from 55.7 in August but still indicating strong growth. New business rose solidly, although companies hesitated to hire due to rising input costs, which increased at the joint-fastest rate in a year. Selling price inflation also accelerated. Despite the growth, business confidence dropped to its lowest level since October 2022 over concerns about an economic slowdown. Employment fell slightly for the second month in a row. Backlogs of work accumulated as companies struggled with staff shortages and solid new orders, with backlogs rising at the fastest pace since January.
