The U.S. services sector has recorded slower growth in October, with the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Purchasing Managers' Index declining to 54.5 from 54.9 in September, slightly below economists' expectations of 54.8. New orders moderated to 55.9 from 59.8, while persistent supply chain disruptions, higher energy costs, and import tariffs continued to pressure businesses. The supplier deliveries index rose to 56.7, indicating further delays, while the prices paid index eased marginally to 73.0, signaling continued inflationary pressures. Services employment improved modestly, with the employment index increasing to 51.4 from 50.1.
