------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. services sector contracted less severely in April, according to a
report that could raise hopes that the economy had bottomed and was beginning
to recover.
The Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index rose to 43.7
from 40.8 in March. Analysts had expected a reading of 42.
Any reading below 50 represents contraction.
