The index has held in a 53.6-56.1 range since February 2026 and sits at 54.9, with services new orders strong at 59.8 and manufacturing PMI at 54.5 supporting continued expansion. Some mean reversion from the recent high readings, along with high prices paid (74.0) and a slightly rising unemployment rate (4.2%), points to a value just below the baseline of 55.1.
