MAY 2024 MANUFACTURING INDEX SUMMARIES
MANUFACTURING PMI®
The U.S. manufacturing sector contracted for the second consecutive month in May, as the Manufacturing PMI® registered 48.7 percent, down 0.5 percentage point compared to April’s reading of 49.2 percent. “After breaking a 16-month streak of contraction by expanding in March, the manufacturing sector has contracted the last two months, and at a faster rate in May. Two out of five subindexes that directly factor into the Manufacturing PMI® are in expansion territory, up from one in April. The New Orders Index moved deeper into contraction after one month of expansion in March. Of the six biggest manufacturing industries, two (Fabricated Metal Products; and Chemical Products) registered growth in May,” says Fiore. A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing sector is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting.
A Manufacturing PMI® above 42.5 percent, over a period of time, generally indicates an expansion of the overall economy. Therefore, the May Manufacturing PMI® indicates the overall economy grew for the 49th straight month after one month of contraction (April 2020). “The past relationship between the Manufacturing PMI® and the overall economy indicates that the May reading (48.7 percent) corresponds to a change of plus-1.7 percent in real gross domestic product (GDP) on an annualized basis,” says Fiore.
