The AIB Ireland Manufacturing PMI dropped to a 15-month low of 56.4 in May 2022 from 59.1 in the prior month. The downwards movement was primarily due to slower rates of increase in new orders and output, alongside a weaker lengthening of delivery times. Meantime, the rate of job creation was the fourth-quickest on record. At the same time, buying level went up the least in 15 months, with inventories of purchases rising the most in for months. Meantime, supply delays continued, amid material shortages, customs checks, the war in Ukraine and Brexit. Turning to prices, the rate of cost inflation re-accelerated, edging closer to March’s peak. In response, firms again raised their factory gate charges in an attempt to pass greater cost burdens on to clients with the pace of increase in average charges hit a series record for the third month in a row. Finally, sentiment weakened to a 19-month low, reflecting steep inflationary pressures. source: Markit Economics
