The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.7 in August of 2022, down from 52.5 in July, thus indicating a deterioration in manufacturing performance. The latest fall was only modest but ended a 25-month sequence of growth. The deterioration in performance reflected sharp and accelerated contractions in output and new orders and the first fall in employment in over two years. At the same time, renewed declines were recorded in buying activity, backlogs and pre-production inventories. Subsequently, optimism towards output in the year ahead moderated with concerns over the macroeconomy weighing slightly on sentiment. There were, however, positive signs on the price front where output and input price inflation eased to 18- and 19-month lows, respectively. Nevertheless, rates of inflation in both cases were above trend. source: Markit Economics
