The U.S. services sector continued to grow in January 2025, though at a slower pace than expected, highlighting uncertainty as businesses brace <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">for potential tariff impacts.</a>
The latest survey from the Institute for Supply Management revealed that the Services PMI fell to 52.8% in January, down from 54% in December, and below the 54.3% forecast by economists, as per TradingEconomics. While expansion persists, the slowdown suggests businesses are feeling pressure from rising costs and trade policy uncertainties.
Despite the overall softness, January marked the second consecutive month in which all four key subindexes—Business Activity, New Orders, Employment, and Supplier Deliveries—remained in expansion territory. 
Yet, concerns over tariffs weighed on sentiment.
"Many panelists also mentioned preparations or concerns related to potential U.S. government tariff actions," said Steve Miller, chair of ISM's survey committee. 
Industry respondents echoed these worries, with contacts in professional, scientific and technical Services indicating that the threat of tariffs is leading to higher price pressures. Respondents in real estate, rental, and leasing flagged concerns about the cost of materials and project work going forward.
Weather-related disruptions also emerged as a possible factor affecting business activity and production levels, according to the survey.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Labor Market Remains Strong In Services Sector</h3>
The job market in service-related industries remained resilient, with private employers adding 190,000 jobs in January, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43494246/private-employment-rises-by-183000-beats-estimates-in-january-consumer-facing-industries-drove-hiring">the ADP National Employment Report.</a> 
In contrast, goods-producing industries shed 6,000 jobs, signaling a stark divide between the two sectors.
Within services, trade, transportation, and utilities led hiring with 56,000 new jobs, while leisure and hospitality closely followed, adding 54,000 positions. 
This data underscores the continued strength of consumer-driven industries, even amid broader economic uncertainty.
&#8220;Consumer-facing industries drove hiring, while job growth was weaker in business services and production,&#8221; said ADP chief economist Nela Richardson. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions: Stocks Fall, Gold Shatters Records</h3>
Stocks negatively reacted following the publications of the ISM Services PMI report, with the S&amp;P 500 index – tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – further sliding into negative territory, down 0.5% by 10:20 a.m. ET. 
Tech stocks – tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) – were 0.6% lower, as Alphabet Inc.

Outside of Wall Street, gold continued to shine, further extending its all-time highs to $2,875 per ounce. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) has now rallied 8.7% year-to-date, with the bullion marking the strongest start to the year since 1980.

A strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) reserve remains a topic of discussion after &#8216;Crypto Czar&#8217; David Sacks on Tuesday announced it would be one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43477333/crypto-czar-sacks-says-potential-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-one-of-crypto-committees-first-priorities">digital assets committee&#8217;s first priorities.</a>
What Happened: Despite the announcement the odds of a reserve being implemented in 2025 have dropped from a peak of 68.5% in January to 58% on prediction market site Kalshi. 
At the press conference, Sacks further stated that a possible inclusion of Bitcoin in the newly-incepted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43473182/could-the-trump-established-sovereign-wealth-fund-invest-in-bitcoin-nvidia-tiktok">sovereign wealth fund</a> would fall under the responsibility of the soon-to-be Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick.
Amid this ongoing debate, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) executive chairman Michael Saylor stirred excitement, tweeting about a &#8220;Big Strategy Day&#8221; on Wednesday.

Coinvo, a Bitcoin investor and trader, emphasized that strategic Bitcoin reserves are being established globally, suggesting the U.S. could just be at the beginning of a larger trend.

Why It Matters: Crypto trader OSF noted that many expected a U.S. Bitcoin reserve to be announced immediately after Trump's inauguration, leading to instant Bitcoin purchases. 
When this didn't occur, speculation turned to David Sacks, who has stressed the need for thorough research.
OSF <a href="https://x.com/osf_rekt/status/1886874591370400145">argues</a> that this short-term speculation has created market volatility, benefiting savvy, patient investors who can capitalize on others' impatience. 
He notes that government actions take time, and traders should brace for a prolonged period of volatility.
The Bitcoin Therapist <a href="https://x.com/TheBTCTherapist/status/1886971995327213591">highlighted</a> the irony that while 99% of people and institutions lack Bitcoin exposure, the U.S. government is considering a strategic Bitcoin reserve. 
He sees this as the start of a massive financial transformation, underscoring the misunderstanding and undervaluation of Bitcoin.
