2026.01.0614:45:00UTC+00Cooling Economies: US S&P Global Composite PMI Dips to 52.7 in December

The US economy shows signs of cooling with the latest S&P Global Composite PMI data revealing a decline. According to recent statistics updated on January 6, 2026, the index, which measures the performance of both the manufacturing and service sectors, slipped to 52.7 in December 2025, down from 54.2 in the same period.

This decrease suggests a slower pace of growth in the United States, although the index remains above the 50-mark threshold that separates expansion from contraction. Economists had anticipated some softening in the pace amid global economic challenges, and the latest figures seem to align with those expectations.

The composite PMI is a crucial indicator for economic stakeholders as it provides insights into business activities and overall economic health. As 2026 unfolds, market participants and policymakers will likely be keenly observing upcoming data releases to gauge the trajectory of the US economy and its potential impact on global markets.
