The IHS Markit Composite PMI fell to 50.9 in August 2019 from 52.6 in the previous month and missing market expectations of 51.7, a preliminary estimate showed. The latest reading pointed to the slowest expansion in the private sector in three months, as manufacturing activity contracted for the first time in a decade (PMI at 49.9 from 50.4) and services output dropped to a 3-month low (PMI at 50.9 from 53.0). New orders advanced at the softest pace on record, amid subdued corporate spending in response to weaker business conditions and worries regarding the global economic outlook. Additionally, the rate of job creation slowed to its weakest since February 2010. On the price front, input prices went down for the first time since series began in October 2009 and output cost declined for the first time in three-and-a-half years. Finally, sentiment weakened for the seventh consecutive month to its lowest since the index began. Composite Pmi in the United States is reported by Markit Economics.
