Assessing the survey’s findings, “business is booming in the US services economy, where output is growing at the sharpest rate since the reopening of the economy from COVID lockdowns in 2021,” said Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. “It’s a different picture in manufacturing, however, where output is falling sharply and at an increased rate, in part due to weak export demand,” Williamson added.
