The Global Supply Chain Pressure Index rose to 1.28 in September 2026, from an upwardly revised 1.20 in August, indicating a modest increase in supply chain pressures last month. Despite the rise, pressures remain well below their most recent peak of 1.81 in May and are far from the 4.43 reading recorded in December 2021, when widespread disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic severely strained global supply chains. Elevated supply chain pressures can contribute to higher inflation by increasing costs and limiting the availability of goods. The latest increase comes as the Federal Reserve raised its interest-rate target last month and signaled another hike by year-end, as policymakers seek to bring inflationary pressures back toward the Fed’s target. source: Federal Reserve Bank of New York

Global Supply Chain Pressure Index
The Global Supply Chain Pressure Index integrates a number of commonly used metrics with the aim of providing a comprehensive summary of potential supply chain disruptions. Global transportation costs are measured by employing data from the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) and the Harpex index, as well as airfreight cost indices from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The GSCPI also uses several supply chain-related components from Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) surveys, focusing on manufacturing firms across seven interconnected economies: China, the euro area, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The index is normalized such that a zero indicates that the index is at its average value with positive values representing how many standard deviations the index is above this average value (and negative values representing the opposite).
