The US August ISM Services PMI rose to 55.4, above the expected 54.3, up 1.3 points from July's 54.1, and 1.1 points above the forecast. This index was 5.4 points above the expansion-contraction line of 50, marking the highest level since April, indicating that services remain in expansion territory and momentum is warming compared to June and July. For the market, this has weakened the certainty of policy shifts solely based on cooling employment.
