11:17 AM EDT, 05/23/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Kansas City Federal Reserve's monthly composite services index rose to a reading of 11 in May after increasing to 3 in April, suggesting faster expansion.

A reading above zero indicates growth.

The index is in line with the S&P Global Flash index released on Thursday but in contrast with the other regional services measures already released that indicated contraction.

There was an increase in the Kansas City revenue/sales reading to 14 from 4, while the employment reading jumped to 10 from 2.

The reading of selling prices increased to 18 from 16, while the input price index fell to 43 from 49.
