The biggest drag came again from new orders, amid high stock levels among customers, elevated prices and investment reticence. New exports orders, which firms indicated were impacted in part by weaker demand from China, showed a similar trend. Production shrank at the same pace as in December while employment rose for a twenty-third straight month although at a slower pace, and supplier delivery times improved for a third month. Meanwhile, input cost inflation slowed to the lowest in 27 months while average charges rose slightly faster.
