The newly released US ISM Services Supplier Deliveries Index for Q3 2026 (July) dropped to 52.8, a significant decline from the previous value of 54.4.

Accompanied by the overall expansion of the services sector, the improvement in suppliers' fulfillment capabilities will help alleviate some operational pressures on end enterprises.
