It was a steady October for the @ISM® Manufacturing PMI® Report, with the largest index swing in either direction just 2.8 points. New orders and backlogs growth fed production while #employment expanded again as the #ISMPMI increased to 55.5%. tinyurl.com/yc64wb97 #economy
U.S. #manufacturing keeps expanding, but the mood among those overseeing #supplychains activity is another story. The October Manufacturing #ISMPMI rose to 55.5%, while two-thirds of panelists’ comments were negative. What’s behind the disconnect? #economy hubs.li/Q04D2NrG0
.@MarketWatch on @ISM #Manufacturing PMI®: “To hear top executives of manufacturers, it’s the best and worst of times. As good as business has been lately, they say, it could be so much better. That’s also true of the broader U.S. #economy.” bit.ly/4iVlCeD #ISMPMI

.@business on @ISM #Manufacturing PMI®: “Factories are benefiting from strong #economy growth, resilient consumer demand and solid business investment … on data centers and artificial intelligence, as well as industrial and other equipment.” tinyurl.com/55pa65tx #ISMPMI

.@ISM’s LinkedIn Live broadcast on the Manufacturing PMI® data for October is today at noon ET/9 a.m. PT. Susan Spence, Chair of the Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, joins me to break down the #ISMPMI numbers and discuss key takeaways. hubs.li/Q04CJ9r-0 #economy
.@ISM’s Susan Spence: “Three of four demand indicators (New Orders, Backlog of Orders and New Export Orders indexes) remained in expansion, and … ‘too low’ status for the Customers’ Inventories Index is (positive) for future production.” tinyurl.com/yc64wb97 #ISMPMI #economy
A fourth straight expansion for Manufacturing #ISMPMI #Employment Index, at 52.4% (down 0.3 points). Among companies surveyed, 14.4% added staff, down from 15.3% in September, but the panelist comments ratio was 1.8-to-1 in favor of hiring. tinyurl.com/yc64wb97 #economy #jobs
#ISMPMI survey respondent in Fabricated Metal Products: “(P)olicies coming out of Washington continue to weigh on business conditions. Customers are unwilling to make commitments to anything other than shortest term due to the vast uncertainty.” tinyurl.com/yc64wb97 #economy

No spookiness in October for U.S. factories — just more steadiness, with no big index movements with demand, #employment, delivery times or prices. Those details and more in the @ISM® Manufacturing PMI® Report; the #ISMPMI nudged up to 55.5%. tinyurl.com/yc64wb97 #economy

Continuing new orders and backlogs growth helped power the Manufacturing #ISMPMI Production Index to 59% in October, a 2.3-point gain and its highest reading since November 2021 (60.5%). Panelists’ comment sentiment on demand was 2-to-1 positive. tinyurl.com/yc64wb97 #economy

(Slight) relief in October for the #ISMPMI Prices Index, which was down 2.7 points to 75.2% — still nine straight months with a reading above 70%, with an average of 76%. Twenty commodities were listed as up in price; just two down. tinyurl.com/yc64wb97 #economy #inflation

#ISMPMI survey respondent in Transportation Equipment: “(N)o momentum to purchase, as our customers’ customers aren’t in urgent need of equipment. … Customers continue to be gobsmacked by the high price of equipment when they ask for quotes.” tinyurl.com/yc64wb97 #economy

ICYMI 💡 B2B and direct-to-consumer #supplychains have converged, but inventory systems often haven’t. Real-time visibility, dynamic inventory promising and serial-level tracking can combat phantom inventory without piling on more safety stock. hubs.li/Q04Bmln10
