JP Morgan Global PMI – læs hele meddelelsen her
The upturn in the global manufacturing sector gathered pace in October. This was signalled by the J.P.Morgan Global Manufacturing PMI™ – a composite index1
produced by J.P.Morgan and IHS Markit in association with ISM and IFPSM – rising to a six-and-a-half year high of 53.5, up from September’s 53.3.
Business conditions improved across the consumer, intermediate and investment goods sectors. The steepest rate of expansion was signalled in the latter, with growth
picking up to the highest since March 2011. An acceleration was also registered at intermediate goods producers (78-month high), whereas a deceleration was
seen in the consumer goods category (four-month low).
Developed nations continued to record (on average) stronger rates of improvement than emerging markets at the start of the final quarter. The euro area PMI rose to an
80-month high, led by a solid performing core of Germany, the Netherlands and Austria.
US manufacturing business conditions improved at the quickest pace since January, while accelerations were also signalled for the UK, Italy, Spain and Australia.
Among the larger emerging markets, the China PMI held steady at 51.0, expansions slowed in India and Russia, while a mild growth uptick was signalled in Brazil.
