New orders for manufactured durable goods in April, down following four consecutive monthly increases, decreased $1.8 billion or 0.8 percent to $231.0 billion, down from the previously published 0.7 percent decrease. This followed a 2.4 percent March increase. Transportation equipment, down following two consecutive monthly increases, led the decrease, $1.1 billion or 1.4 percent to $78.4 billion. New orders for manufactured nondurable goods increased $1.0 billion or 0.4 percent to $238.0 billion.
The report was issued today by Anthony Nieves, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Non-Manufacturing Business Survey Committee:
"The NMI registered 56.9 percent, which is 0.6 percentage point lower than the April reading of 57.5 percent. This represents continued growth in the non-manufacturing sector at a slightly slower rate. The Non-Manufacturing Business Activity Index decreased to 60.7 percent, 1.7 percentage points lower than the April reading of 62.4 percent, reflecting growth for the 94th consecutive month, at a slower rate in May. The New Orders Index registered 57.7 percent, 5.5 percentage points lower than the reading of 63.2 percent in April. The Employment Index increased 6.4 percentage points in May to 57.8 percent from the April reading of 51.4 percent.
The Prices Index decreased 8.4 percentage points from the April reading of 57.6 percent to 49.2 percent, indicating prices decreased in May for the first time after 13 consecutive months of increasing. According to the NMI, 17 non-manufacturing industries reported growth. Although the non-manufacturing sector's growth rate dipped in May, the sector continues to reflect strength, buoyed by the strong rate of growth in the Employment Index. The majority of respondents' comments continue to indicate optimism about business conditions and the overall economy."

May data highlighted a renewed slowdown in business activity growth across the UK service economy, following the four-month peak achieved in April. This partly reflected a softer pace of new order growth, which survey respondents linked to squeezed household budgets and, in some cases, delayed decision making among clients ahead of the General Election. There were positive developments in terms of cost pressures during May, with the latest survey pointing to the least marked rise in input prices since September 2016. This resulted in a moderation in output charge inflation from April's near-nine year peak.
The headline seasonally adjusted IHS Markit/CIPS Services PMI Business Activity Index registered 53.8 in May, to remain above the 50.0 no-change value for the tenth consecutive month. However, the index dropped from 55.8 in April and signalled the slowest expansion of service sector output since February. Anecdotal evidence from survey respondents mainly cited weaker new business growth in May.
The rate of eurozone economic growth continued to run at the quickest pace in six years during May. This was confirmed by the final IHS Markit Eurozone PMI Composite Output Index posting 56.8, unchanged from the earlier flash estimate and April's final reading.
The latest expansion of output was supported by strong growth of incoming new business. New orders increased at an identical pace to April, one of the steepest gains signalled for six years.
The seasonally adjusted IHS Markit Germany Services PMI Business Activity Index remained well above the no-change mark of 50.0 in May. The Index was unchanged from April at 55.4 and close to March's 15-month high of 55.6, signalling a sustained strong expansion in service sector output. The headline figure also remained above its long-run average of 53.2 since the survey began in June 1997. Activity has risen continuously for four years, the second-longest sequence of growth in the survey history.
Furthermore, the rate of growth quickened from the previous month and was just shy of March's near six-year high. Underpinning output growth was another marked expansion in new business which, in turn, contributed to a sharp rise in employment. Nevertheless, the level of outstanding business continued to accumulate.
The headline seasonally adjusted Business Activity Index posted 57.2 in May. Up from 56.7 in April, the latest index reading pointed to a marginally stronger rise in activity. The sharpest rate of growth continued to be recorded in the Post & Telecommunications sub-sector

Italy's services economy continued to display strong growth momentum mid-way through the second quarter, according to the latest IHS Markit PMI survey. Business activity and order books both increased substantially during May, albeit at slightly slower rates than those seen in April. Services firms faced an increase in cost pressures, however, as input prices rose to the greatest extent for almost a year.
The headline seasonally adjusted IHS Markit Business Activity Index - which is based on a single question asking respondents to report on the actual change in business activity at their companies compared to one month ago - registered a reading of 55.1 in May, down slightly from April's 56.2 but still one of the highest in the past ten years
Further sharp increases were recorded in business activity and new orders. With workloads rising, and the prospect of new projects in future, companies took on extra staff again. Meanwhile, inflationary pressures moderated during the month.
The headline seasonally adjusted Business Activity Index posted at 57.3 in May. Although slightly below the previous month's reading of 57.8, the index still pointed to a sharp monthly increase in activity and one that was broadly in line with those recorded since February.

The trend estimate for inventories rose 0.6% in the March quarter 2017. The seasonally adjusted estimate rose 1.2% this quarter.
The trend estimate for Manufacturing sales of goods and services fell 1.0% this quarter. The seasonally adjusted estimate fell 1.4% this quarter.
The trend estimate for Wholesale trade sales of goods and services rose 1.9% this quarter. The seasonally adjusted estimate rose 1.5%.
The seasonally adjusted estimate for company gross operating profits rose 6.0% in the March quarter 2017.
The seasonally adjusted estimate for wages and salaries rose 0.3% in the March quarter 2017.
The Caixin China Composite PMI data (which covers both manufacturing and services) indicated only a modest expansion of overall output during May. At 51.5, the Composite Output Index rose slightly from April's ten-month low of 51.2, but nonetheless posted the second-lowest reading seen since September 2016.
Data split by sector highlighted differing trends, with service providers noting an acceleration in business activity growth while manufacturers saw only a marginal rise in production. Furthermore, goods producers registered the slowest increase in output for 11 months. In contrast, services activity expanded at a solid pace that was the quickest since January, as shown by the seasonally adjusted Caixin China General Services Business Activity Index posting 52.8 in May, up from 51.5 in April.
