Sales fell in eight of 21 subsectors, led by a 6.6% drop in chemical products, driven by lower sales in six of seven industry groups, particularly resin, synthetic rubber, and artificial and synthetic fibres and filaments. Food manufacturing sales fell 1.4%, largely due to lower grain and oilseed milling sales. Petroleum and coal products sales rose 1.9%, driven by higher prices, partly reflecting renewed US-Iran tensions and concerns over crude shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
