United States Manufacturing PMI
In the United States, the Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 600 industrial companies. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.

US Manufacturing PMI Revised Slightly Higher: S&P Global
The S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI was revised higher to 51.5 in August of 2022 from a preliminary of 51.3, still pointing to the slowest growth in factory activity since July of 2020. Output contracted for a second straight month as new orders fell for a third month in a row amid weak client demand, amid the impact of inflation and economic uncertainty on customer spending. Employment growth was the weakest since January, with backlogs of work rising only marginally. Meanwhile, supply chain disruptions were the least severe since October 2020. On the price front, input price inflation was the slowest since January 2021 but remained elevated due to hikes in transportation, fuel and metals prices. Charge inflation was the slowest in 18 months, as some companies passed through savings to their customers in an effort to remain competitive. Meanwhile, business confidence was the highest in three months due to hopes of an uptick in demand.

US Factory Growth Lowest in 2 Years: S&P Global PMI
The S&P Global Flash US Manufacturing PMI fell to 51.3 in August of 2022 from 52.2 in July, below forecasts of 52, and pointing to the lowest growth in factory activity since July of 2020, amid muted demand conditions and production cutbacks. Output contracted for the second successive month. Higher input prices also served to dampen customer demand, as some firms stated that clients were monitoring inventories and essential spending more closely. New export orders fell solidly as inflationary pressures in key export markets weighed on demand. At the same time, manufacturers registered the slowest rise in cost burdens since January 2021 and signs of improvements in supply chain disruption emerged. Meanwhile, manufacturers recorded a greater degree of optimism regarding the outlook for output over the next year on hopes of stable supply chains and increased customer demand.
