Predicted for 3. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The ISM Services PMI stood at 54.1 in July 2026 (54.5 in May 2026), reflecting consistent US services sector expansion. For August (released September 3, 2026), a reading above 53.0 is well-supported: the US economy is growing (BEA projects Q2 GDP >1.5%), the labour market is stabilising, and consumer spending remains robust. No current indicator signals a contraction below 50. The US ISM Manufacturing PMI (released September 2) is separately predicted at >52. A collapse in the services component below 53 would be a negative surprise for which no immediate catalyst is apparent.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
