The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing PMI fell to 54.6 in June of 2022 from 56.8 in the previous month. The latest reading pointed to the 24th straight month of expansion in factory activity but at the slowest pace since January of 2021. Output expanded at the softest pace for two years, while new orders rose only moderately, amid persistent inflationary pressures and material shortages. Also, slower growth was recorded for employment and purchasing activity, while exports fell for the first time in four months. On the price front, input price inflation was marked, and among the quickest in the series history, as prices accelerated for a range of goods and services including metal, fuel, energy, resin and transportation. Lastly, business sentiment dipped to a 17-month low, on concerns about the global economy and the lingering implications of COVID-19. source: Markit Economics

Canada Factory Activity Growth Accelerates in May
The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing PMI rose to 56.8 in May of 2022 from 56.2 in the previous period, marking the 23rd consecutive month of expansion. Sustained growth was seen both for output and new orders, driven by stronger demand for consumer goods, while respondents also cited favorable business conditions due to eased pandemic related restrictions. At the same time, Canadian manufacturers recorded a rise in employment levels, despite also seeing higher capacity pressures. On the price front, inflationary pressure continued to run well above the long-term average, as raw material scarcity and ongoing supply-chain disruptions lifted prices for metals, fuel, resin, transportation, and materials. Looking forward, inflationary concerns pressed business confidence to slightly moderate in May, offsetting greater consumer demand and expectations of new clients.

Canada Factory Activity Growth Slows in April
The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing PMI declined to 56.2 in April of 2022, from an all-time high of 58.9 in March, marking the 22nd month running of expansions. Production levels rose sharply, mostly for producers of consumer goods, followed by makers of investment and intermediate goods, respectively. Main upward pressure came from robust growth in new orders, with firms saying they could secure new domestic clients and higher sales abroad. Also, backlogs of work increased sharply as shortage of materials and trucks more than offset higher staffing levels, although firms complained of shortage of skilled workers. On the price front, input price inflation moderated from March’s peak, while the rise in selling charges accelerated to the 2nd fastest in the survey’s history. Lastly, business outlook moderated from March and stood below the long-term average, pressured by elevated cost pressures and uncertainty due to the geopolitical environment.
