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. source: Markit Economics
