PMI erhvervstillid for USA fra Markit- læs hele meddelelsen her:
“US manufacturing has entered into its sharpest downturn since
2009, suggesting the goods-producing sector is on course to
act as a significant drag on the economy in the third quarter.
The deterioration in the survey’s output index is indicative of
manufacturing production declining at an annualised rate in excess
of 3%.
“Falling business spending at home and declining exports are
the main drivers of the downturn, with firms also cutting back on
input buying as the outlook grows gloomier. US manufacturers’
expectations of output in the year ahead has sunk to its lowest since
comparable data were first available in 2012, with worries focused
on the detrimental impact of escalating trade wars, fears of slower
economic growth and rising geopolitical worries.
“Employment is now also falling for only the second time in
almost ten years as factories pull back on hiring amid the growing
uncertainty.
“More positively, new order inflows picked up for a second successive
month. Although remaining worryingly subdued compared to the
strong growth seen earlier in the year, the modest improvement will
fuel hope that production growth could tick higher in August.
