The latest reading extended the period of growth to 15 successive months, with the latest expansion among the sharpest in the 11-year history of the survey. Output, new orders and employment growth rates softened but remained historically elevated, despite a rise in COVID cases. Meanwhile, global supply shocks persisted, leading to lengthier delivery times and a subsequent joint-record increase in backlogs. As a result, firms raised their stocks of purchases at the joint-fastest rate in the survey to date. On the price front, higher costs for steel, oil and transportation underpinned record rates of input and output price inflation. Lastly, business sentiment improved to the highest since May 2019, supported by forecasts of an improvement in economic conditions and wider material availability. source: Markit Economics

Canada Factory Activity Growth at 4-Month High
The IHS Markit Canada Manufacturing PMI rose to 57.2 in July of 2021 from 56.2 in the previous month, pointing to the 14th straight month of expansion of factory activity. At the same time, it was the fourth strongest in the survey's history. New orders and output rose sharply, underpinned by improved demand domestically and internationally, particularly in the US and Europe. Meanwhile, despite rising for the 14th consecutive month and beating the long-term average, the pace of job creation moderated slightly amid struggles to find skilled replacements for voluntary leavers. Ongoing severe supply chain constraints and raw material shortages remained the main causes behind historic increases in backlogs of work and lead times. In response, companies added to pre-production inventories at the 2nd quickest rate on record, which fueled input price inflation to a fresh series high. Lastly, outlook reflected the strong demand environment, both of which improved starkly in August.
