The November S&P Global US Services PMI signaled continued solid growth in the services sector, with the headline index at 54.1, indicating expansion but at a five-month low. New business rose at the fastest pace since late 2024 and firms increased hiring, supported by improved confidence after the government shutdown and expectations of stronger growth and lower interest rates ahead. However, input costs climbed at a six-month high, driven by higher labor costs and tariffs, and companies raised prices more quickly, posing a risk to further rate cuts. Overall, combined with strong manufacturing, the survey points to about 2.5% annualized GDP growth in Q4, led especially by robust financial services activity.
