The United States Institute for Supply Management (ISM) announced on Wednesday that its Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) in October landed at 56.6%, down by 1.2 percentage points from 57.8% reported the previous month.

The business activity declined by 1.8% in comparison to September to 61.2%, while the employment index decreased by 1.7% month-on-month from 51.8% to 50.1%. On the other hand, the supplier deliveries saw a monthly rise of 1.3%, coming in at 56.2%.

“There has been a slight pull back in the rate of growth in the Services Sector in the month of October. Respondents’ comments are cautiously optimistic about business conditions and the economy. There is a degree of uncertainty due to the pandemic, capacity constraints, logistics and the elections,” the ISM’s Chair Anthony Nieves commented on the report.
