Economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in January after 26 consecutive months of contraction, say the nation's supply executives in the latest Manufacturing ISM® Report On Business®. "The Manufacturing PMI® registered 50.9 percent in January, 1.7 percentage points higher compared to the seasonally adjusted 49.2 percent recorded in December. The overall economy continued in expansion for the 57th month after one month of contraction in April 2020. (A Manufacturing PMI® above 42.3 percent, over a period of time, generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy.) The New Orders Index was in expansion territory for the third month after seven months of contraction, strengthening again to a reading of 55.1 percent, 3 percentage points higher than the seasonally adjusted 52.1 percent recorded in December. The January reading of the Production Index (52.5 percent) is 2.6 percentage points higher than December's seasonally adjusted figure of 49.9 percent. The index returned to expansion after eight months in contraction. The Prices Index continued in expansion (or 'increasing') territory, registering 54.9 percent, up 2.4 percentage points compared to the reading of 52.5 percent in December. The Backlog of Orders Index registered 44.9 percent, down 1 percentage point compared to the 45.9 percent recorded in December. The Employment Index registered 50.3 percent, up 4.9 percentage points from December's seasonally adjusted figure of 45.4 percent. post: US ISM Manufacturing Jan: 50.9 (est 49.9; prev R 49.2) - New Orders: 55.1 (prev R 52.1) - Employment: 50.3 (prev R 45.4) - Prices Paid: 54.9 (est 54.8; prev 52.5)ISM: US manufacturing PMI improves in January The US manufacturing sector returned to growth in January, ending 26 consecutive months of contraction, according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). The Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.9%, up from December’s 49.2%, signaling expansion. New orders and production also saw strong gains, with the New Orders Index reaching 55.1%. Challenges remain as businesses navigate potential tariffs and supply chain disruptions despite the rebound. Companies are closely monitoring policy changes that could impact costs and production strategies. ISM Chair Timothy Fiore noted that demand improved significantly while output and employment expanded. However, supply chain concerns persist, particularly in industries like aerospace and defense.

A US factory measure improved for a second month in December as orders and production picked up, suggesting the cloud over manufacturing may be starting to lift. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing gauge rose almost a point to 49.3, the highest level since March, according to data released Friday. While still below 50 and indicating activity continues to shrink, the index was firmer than all but one estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists. The group’s measure of new orders rose more than 2 points to 52.5, the ...

The December US ISM manufacturing index has come in stronger than predicted, rising to 49.3 from 48.4 in November versus the 48.2 consensus. Regional indicators had been mixed, but we don't have any regional metrics for west of the Rocky Mountains, so it seems that activity on the West Coast has outperformed the rest of the country. The improvement was led by a rise in the production component to 50.3 from 46.8 which may have been boosted by the return to work of formerly striking Boeing workers. This was the first reading above 50 ...

The US manufacturing ISM index rose to 48.4 in November from October’s 46.5 print. This was above the 47.5 consensus forecast, but it remains below the 50 breakeven level. In fact, it has been in expansion territory (above 50) only once in the past 26 months. New orders broke above 50 for the first time since March, which could be on post-election clarity resulting in some companies pushing through delayed orders, but production remained very soft at 46.8 and employment, while improving, remains very weak at 48.1. There was good news ...

The November reading of the Production Index (46.8 percent) is 0.6 percentage point higher than October's figure of 46.2 percent.

The Backlog of Orders Index registered 41.8 percent, down 0.5 percentage point compared to the 42.3 per post: US ISM Manufacturing Nov: 48.4 (est 47.6; prev 46.5) - Prices Paid: 50.3 (est 56.0; prev 54.8) - New Orders: 50.4 (prev 47.1) - Employment: 48.1 (prev 44.4)ISM: US manufacturing activity grows in November The manufacturing sector in the United States improved slightly while still contracting in November, according to a report from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) published on Monday. The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose from 46.5 in October to 48.4. New orders improved by 3.3 points to 50.4 compared to October, while the production indicator added 0.6 point to 46.8. The price index slid by 4.5 points to 50.3, while the employment index grew by 3.7 points to 48.1. "Demand remains weak, as companies prepare plans for 2025 with the benefit of the election cycle ending. Production execution eased in November, consistent with demand sluggishness and weak backlogs. Suppliers continue to have capacity, with lead times improving but some product shortages reappearing," ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee Chair Timothy Fiore said.
