The IHS Markit Mexico Manufacturing PMI advanced to 42.1 in September 2020 from 41.3 in the previous month. Still, the reading pointed to the seventh straight contraction in factory activity, albeit at the softest pace in six months amid the coronavirus pandemic. Both, output and new orders shrank for the seventh consecutive month on the back of COVID-19 restrictions and clients purchasing only critical products. Meantime, the job shedding rate eased to a six-month low. On the price front, input prices increased for the second successive month boosted by higher cost of chemicals, foodstuff, metals and textiles, while output charges dropped further. Finally, manufacturers turn optimistic about the year-ahead outlook for output, following a six-month period of pessimism, driven by expectations that coronavirus restrictions will be lifted and that fewer infections in key export destinations will support sales growth.

The Markit Mexico Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 400 manufacturing companies. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. 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.
