The S&P Global Brazil Manufacturing PMI rose to 54.2 in May of 2022, from 51.8 in the previous month. The latest reading pointed to the third straight month of expansion in factory activity and at the fastest pace since last September. Both production and new orders grew at stronger rates, amid reports of strengthening demand conditions and new product launches. At the same time, employment rose to the greatest extent in seven months amid upbeat growth projections. On the price front, however, inflationary pressures intensified, linked to energy price volatility, global shortages of inputs, China's lockdowns and the war in Ukraine. Finally, business confidence remained firmly in positive territory, with some firms expecting further improvements in sales and greater investment, while several others displayed intentions to launch new products and expand capacities. source: Markit Economics
