Factory activity conditions improved for the 17th consecutive month, with the latest expansion among the strongest in the series history. Output growth accelerated while new orders rose at a solid pace, on improved demand and higher customer numbers. Exports also went up for a tenth straight month amid greater demand from US and Asian markets. This was despite ongoing supply disruptions and material shortages, which prompted average lead times from vendors lengthening to the second greatest extent since the survey began in October 2010. On the price front, both input and output inflation climbed to record levels. Finally, the degree of optimism among manufacturers moderated to the lowest since July, but was still above the long-run series average. source: Markit Economics

Canada Factory Activity at 7-Month High
The IHS Markit Canada Manufacturing PMI went up to 57.7 in October of 2021, from 57 in the prior month, the highest reading since last March. Factory activity conditions improved for the sixteenth month in a row and were the third strongest pace in the survey’s history, mostly reflecting an upsurge in new orders amid higher foreign and domestic demand. Additional support came from production, employment and purchasing activity. On the other hand, lead times lengthened to unprecedented extents, due to a combination of raw material and container shortages, and transportation bottlenecks. As a result, firms raised their stocks of purchases at the fastest rate in the survey to date. On the price front, both input and output inflation climbed to the second-fastest on records, bolstered by higher costs for metals, packaging, and electronic components. Lastly, business sentiment was the highest since April 2018, supported by upbeat demand forecasts and improvement in economic conditions.

Canada Factory Activity Growth Remains Strong
The IHS Markit Canada Manufacturing PMI came in at 57 in September of 2021, little changed from 57.2 in the prior month. The latest reading extended the period of growth to 15 successive months, with the latest expansion among the sharpest in the 11-year history of the survey. Output, new orders and employment growth rates softened but remained historically elevated, despite a rise in COVID cases. Meanwhile, global supply shocks persisted, leading to lengthier delivery times and a subsequent joint-record increase in backlogs. As a result, firms raised their stocks of purchases at the joint-fastest rate in the survey to date. On the price front, higher costs for steel, oil and transportation underpinned record rates of input and output price inflation. Lastly, business sentiment improved to the highest since May 2019, supported by forecasts of an improvement in economic conditions and wider material availability.

A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.
