The latest US ISM Services Business Activity Index for June 2026 (Q2) fell to 55.4 from 57.7 in the previous month, reflecting a moderate slowdown in the pace of expansion.

In the short term, the employment recovery and slowing inflation inject confidence into the market, but potential cost pressures from tariff variables and geopolitics still warrant attention.
