Consumer price inflation therefore looks likely to accelerate further as we head into the spring.\u201d said Chris Williamson, the chief economist at S&#038;P Global.<\/p>\n<p>The S&#038;P Global survey was known as the IHS Markit Services PMI survey prior to the merger of S&#038;P Global and IHS Markit.<\/p>\n<p>Both reports showed that overall economic activity picked up sharply as pandemic restrictions were further lifted in March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemand for services is in fact growing so fast that companies are increasingly struggling to keep pace with customer orders, leading to the largest rise in backlogs of work recorded since the survey began in 2009,\u201d Williamson said.<\/p>\n<p>The backlog of new orders index in the ISM survey climbed and the supplier deliveries index fell, indicating slower deliveries and ongoing supply chain constraints.<\/p>\n<p>The near-record high indicators of services side price hikes may hurt hopes that inflation would come down as demand normalized with a shift back toward services from goods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A surge in demand in the services sector pumped even more inflationary power into the U.S. economy, surveys of businesses showed Tuesday.
