Global PMI Erhvervstillid fra JP Morgen – læs hele meddelelsen her
Global manufacturing remained lacklustre at the end of 2019.
Growth of production and new orders were both marginal, as
weak international trade flows stymied hopes of a stronger
recovery from the mid-year downturn in the sector. Subdued
business confidence led to cutbacks in staffing, purchasing
and inventory holdings.
The J.P.Morgan Global Manufacturing PMI – a composite
index produced by J.P.Morgan and IHS Markit in association
with ISM and IFPSM – fell to 50.1 in December, from 50.3
in November, to remain only marginally above the 50.0
waterline that separates expansion from contraction.
PMI readings signalled contractions in the intermediate
and investment goods sectors, with rates of deterioration
accelerating in both cases. This reflected ongoing downturns
in output and new orders in these industries. The consumer
goods category remained a pocket of growth in December,
with its PMI staying close to November’s seven-month high
following further expansions in new work and production.
The upward move in the global manufacturing PMI
since July took a step back last month. In level terms, the
December PMI still suggest a weak pace of growth in global
output. The trend in new export orders will need to stage a
revival if the upturn is to gather pace at the start of the new
decade.”
