US: Services growth seen easing on Iran uncertainty – TD Securities
TD Securities analysts expect US ISM Services to soften in March as geopolitical uncertainty from Iran weighs on sentiment. They forecast the index to fall to 54.2, reversing February’s gain, with most components slowing and employment slipping back into contraction. Supplier delivery times could provide upside risk due to supply chain disruptions.
