Norway’s DNB Manufacturing PMI fell sharply to 54.9 in May of 2022 from 59.9 in the previous month. The latest reading points to the smallest gain in manufacturing activity since January of 2021, as three of the major subindices, new orders (52.2 vs 58.5), production (50 vs 58.4) and employment (57.3 vs 60.6) fell markedly below their long-term average levels. At the same time, supplier’s delivery time declined (75.2 vs 76.5) while inventories of purchased goods rose (59.6 vs 58.6), both generally indicating lower activity. However, in the current situation, lower delivery times could reflect supply-chain disruptions and transportation problems and higher inventories could imply suppliers’ hoarding tendency to secure supplies. Meanwhile, input prices eased (79.1 vs 85.7) amid falling costs of metals and LPG. source: NIMA/DNB Markets
