US Factory Activity Growth Slows in July: ISM


The Institute for Supply Management’s Manufacturing PMI in the US fell to 56.3 in July of 2017 from 57.8 in June which was the highest since August of 2014. Figures came slightly below market expectations of 56.5 due to a slowdown in new orders, production and employment.

Growth eased for new orders (60.4 from 63.5 in June); production (60.6 from 62.4); employment (55.2 from 57.2); backlogs of orders (55 from 57) and new export orders (57.5). In addition, inflationary pressures increased (62 from 55); inventoires were unchanged (50 from 49) and customers' inventories declined (49 from 50.5). On the other hand, supplier deliveries improved (55.4 from 57). 

Comments from the panel generally reflect expanding business conditions, with new orders, production, employment, backlog and exports all growing in July compared to June, as well as supplier deliveries slowing (improving) and inventories unchanged during the period.

Of the 18 manufacturing industries, 15 reported growth in July in the following order: Plastics & Rubber Products; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Wood Products; Fabricated Metal Products; Machinery; Chemical Products; Paper Products; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Printing & Related Support Activities; Computer & Electronic Products; Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Furniture & Related Products; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; Primary Metals; and Transportation Equipment.

United States ISM Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) Notes

The Manufacturing ISM Report On Business® is based on data compiled from purchasing and supply executives nationwide. Survey responses reflect the change, if any, in the current month compared to the previous month.

A PMI™ reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally declining.
