🚨 U.S. Services Sector Surges in February 🇺🇸📊$COOKIE
The February ISM Services Index just came in at 56.1, smashing expectations of 53.5 and rising sharply from the previous 53.8 reading.$PHA
🔥 This marks the highest level since November 2022 — signaling strong expansion in the U.S. services economy.
Remember:$FORM
• A reading above 50 = expansion
• Below 50 = contraction
