PMI fra Markit- Læs hele meddelelsen her:
Commenting on the survey, David Hensley, Director of
Global Economic Coordination at J.P.Morgan, said:
“The January PMIs signal that global economic growth
slowed to a 28-month low, as inflows of new work rose at a
weaker pace and international trade in goods and services
fell for the second month in a row. The trend in new orders
will need to pick-up substantially in the coming months if
global GDP growth is to recover to a level more in line with
expectations for 2019 as a whole.”
At 52.1 in January, down from 52.7 in December,
J.P.Morgan Global Composite Output Index1,2 – which is
produced by J.P.Morgan and IHS Markit in association
with ISM and IFPSM – posted its lowest reading since
September 2016. Rates of expansion slowed in both the
manufacturing (31-month low) and service (28-month low)
sectors.
Growth in services business activity outpaced that
of manufacturing production for the ninth month running.
Please note that a later-than-usual release date meant data for
the Malaysian Manufacturing PMI were not available to include in
the January global readings. Please also note that the back
histories of the Global PMI time series (manufacturing, services
and composite) have all been updated to reflect the annual review
of the national weights applied to the data.
Output expanded in three out of the six sub-industries
covered by the survey during January. The strongest rates
of increase were seen in the business services and
consumer goods sectors, with the former the only
category to see growth accelerate. Expansion was also
seen at financial service provides, although the rate of
increase slowed sharply to a four-year low.
National PMI data indicated that the US remained the
main driver of global economic expansion. Output growth
slowed to a five-and-a-half-year low in the euro area, as
increases in Germany, Spain and Ireland were offset by
contractions in France and Italy. Rates of expansion
slowed in China, Japan, the UK, Brazil, Russia, Australia
and Ireland. Only Germany and Spain saw accelerated
growth, although rates of increase steadied in both the US
and India.
