The IHS Markit Canada Manufacturing PMI decreased to 53.9 in October of 2018 from 54.8 in the previous month. The reading pointed to the weakest growth in factory activity since January last year, as output rose at the softest pace since December of 2016 due to subdued demand conditions in the domestic and export markets. Additionally, new business eased. On the other hand, job creation advanced amid long-term business expansions plans and efforts to boost operating capacity. On the price front, input price inflation accelerated mostly driven by steel tariffs and cost of transportation and output prices increased further. Looking ahead, growth expectations moderated to the weakest level of positive sentiment since November 2016, due to global economic uncertainty. Manufacturing PMI in Canada is reported by Markit Economics.
