The S&P Global Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.5 in August 2026 from 50.2 in July, the lowest since March and missing expectations of 50.1. Both production and new orders declined, reflecting subdued domestic demand and weaker international sales, with tariffs also weighing on exports. Firms responded by drawing down finished-goods and input inventories, while purchasing activity contracted for a ninth month. Employment also fell for the twelfth month in a row, although the decline in outstanding work was partly supported by lower capacity utilisation. Supply conditions remained challenging, as disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict affected shipping routes and the availability of materials. Higher energy and transportation costs pushed input-price inflation significantly higher, prompting firms to raise selling prices as well. Looking ahead, business confidence weakened further, with concerns over elevated energy costs and fragile demand clouding the outlook for production. source: S&P Global
