As usual, the line to watch is the thick green line in the chart. This is the average of the extreme-adjusted manufacturing ISM and PMI surveys. Since these surveys are (statistically) independent, the average will have a lower error term than either individually.
The ISM services PMI is out later tonight (my time zone), so I'll report on that tomorrow.
Far from a boom, what these data show is that the economy is certainly not sliding deeper into recession; on the contrary, it is prolly starting to pick up. Trump will get the credit, though economies respond with a lag to policy changes, so the rise is due to Biden-era policies.
