The IHS Markit US Composite PMI was revised higher to 50.3 in July of 2020 from a preliminary reading of 50 and 47.9 in the previous month. The latest reading signaled a fractional expansion in private sector business activity, but the first instance of growth since January. The upturn was largely driven by the resumption of business at manufacturers and service providers, but new business continued to fall. The decrease in new orders quickened slightly despite an expansion in manufacturing client demand. Private sector firms increased their workforce numbers, largely stemmed from an uptick in service sector staffing numbers as manufacturers reported a further fall. In contrast to the trend in client demand, firms expect output to rise over the coming year amid hopes of an end to the COVID-19 pandemic and an uptick in new sales. Finally, private sector companies recorded faster increases in output charges and input costs as supplier price hikes were partially passed on to customers.

US Private Sector Output Stabilizes in July
The IHS Markit US Composite PMI rose to 50.0 in July 2020 from 47.9 in the previous month, a preliminary estimate showed, signalling a stabilization in private sector output following five months of contraction. Service sector output contracted at a softer pace, while manufacturing production grew slightly. Overall new orders continued to decline following the re-imposition of lockdown measures in several states, amid a spike in COVID-19 cases. Still, employment increased in July, bringing to an end a four-month sequence of job shedding. On the price front, inflationary pressures intensified at the start of the third quarter. Looking ahead, business optimism was the strongest since April 2019, amid expectations that the recovery in client demand will continue amid hopes of an end to the pandemic.

US Composite PMI Contracts at Softer Pace
The IHS/Markit US Composite PMI increased to 46.8 in June 2020 from 37 in the previous month, a preliminary estimate showed. The reading pointed to the softest contraction in private sector activity in four months, as several firms and states began to reopen following the coronavirus lockdown measures. Both manufacturing output (PMI at 49.6 vs 39.8 in May) and the services sector (PMO at 46.7 vs 37.5 in May) shrank at slower rate. New orders declined at a softer pace despite many firms noting a rebound in demand and the downturn in export orders eased as key foreign markets rose their buying activity amid looser lockdown restrictions. Firms continued to cut workforce numbers, albeit at a modest rate. On the price front, input and output charges rose for the first time since February. Lastly, sentiment improved with the degree of optimism hitting a four-month high amid expectations of a fast economic recovery amid the reopening of states.
