India’s Industrial Output Contracts 16.6% in June

(15 August 2020) India’s industrial output, measured by index of industrial production (IIP), contracted by 16.6% yoy in June compared to the decline of 34% in May, the fourth successive month of contraction. However, the contraction was at slower pace on the back of modest recovery in manufacturing that contributes around 78% in the IIP.Manufacturing sector contracted 17.1% in June, lower than the 38.4% in May. Mining fell by 19.8% in June against drop of 20.5% in May.Electricity generation declined 10% in June as compared to 14.9% (down) in May Among the use-based categories, only consumer non-durables moved from negative territory to positive with sharp growth of 14% YoY in June as compared to decline of 11.1% in May. The sharp jump in the non-durables likely driven by restoring of inventories that were exhausted during the stringent lockdown months.

Germany: ifo Business Climate Index Recovery in May Tells Partial Story //jp.knoema.com/cvplcye/germany-ifo-business-climate-index-recovery-in-may-tells-partial-story 2020-06-04T05:54:39Z Nematullah Khan jp.knoema.com://jp.knoema.com/user/1975840
Germany: ifo Business Climate Index Recovery in May Tells Partial Story

(2 June 2020)  Business sentiment improved in Germany in May, as reflected by the ifo Business Climate Index, which increased to 79.5 points from 74.2 in April. The uptick in the index was made possible by a sharp increase in business climate expectations. The bounce may be constrained, however, as many corporate leaders remain pessimistic about the business environment. The business situation index dropped slightly in May, and the ifo dispersion that measures uncertainty expectations among respondents increased in May.

India: Industrial Production Contracted 16.7% in March Under COVID-19 Pressure

(18 May 2020)  India’s industrial production, measured by the index of industrial production (IIP), contracted 16.7% YoY in March after expanding 4.6% in February, a symptom of the lockdown to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Given that the lockdown was initiated in late March, April figures will likely be worse and affect nearly all industries, with the potential exceptions of food and pharma.Data released 2.5 weeks earlier by India's Office of the Economic Adviser for core infrastructure industries, which represent about 40% of the IIP index, had previewed this decline of industrial production. Core industries contracted 6.5% in March.

India’s manufacturing gains and Services sector lose momentum

India’s manufacturing PMI ticked up to 52.7 in May from 51.7 in April 2019 strongest recovery in the last three months. Improvement in the manufacturing activity in May compared to the previous  month provided a silver lining after an earlier reported GDP growth for Q4, FY2018-19 showed lowest rate in the last five years. The growth in the index has been supported by revival in new orders. The revival suggests that growth in employment and sales components of PMI would pick up in coming months. The survey respondents pointed out factors such as expectations of pro-business government policies, marketing initiatives, projects in the pipeline and favorable economic conditions for boosting optimism in the sector. On the other hand, India’s dominant service sector experienced sluggishness as services PMI declined to 50.2 in May from 51.0 in April this year. Despite the slowdown, the index stayed above 50, thus remained in expansionary territory. The service sector suffered due to general elections, softening in new work and business activity. The slowdown in the sector seems to be temporary as pick up in hiring and improvement in confidence among companies would bring back the sector on track.

US Purchasing Managers Index Falls Below 50, Signals Contraction //jp.knoema.com/vvezewf/us-purchasing-managers-index-falls-below-50-signals-contraction 2019-09-10T16:54:10Z Nematullah Khan jp.knoema.com://jp.knoema.com/user/1975840
US Purchasing Managers Index Falls Below 50, Signals Contraction

In August, US manufacturing activity contracted 2.1 points from July, the largest contraction in nearly three years. According to the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Purchasing Manufacturing Index (PMI) - commonly referred to as the ISM manufacturing index - fell to 49.1, making the US a late comer to a growing club of large economies, such as China, the Eurozone, Japan, and the United Kingdom, that have likewise reported contracting manufacturing sectors in recent months.The PMI is being dragged down by a sharp decline in new orders, non-farm employment (which increased by only 130,000 in August), and new exports as trade tensions with China weighed on business confidence and deepened growing fears of economic recession. Declining oil prices have also contributed to the decline of industrial production vis-a-vis restricted investment in the energy sector - the largest and fastest-growing industrial sector in the US - indicated by steadily declining oil and gas rig counts. The US Federal Reserve industrial production index indicates that manufacturing production also decreased during the first two quarters on 2019, suggesting the US is already in recession.

US Manufacturing PMI in 2019

The U.S. manufacturing activity has slowed down as ISM purchasing manufacturing index (PMI) registered at 52.1 in May 2019, a decline of .7 points from the previous month. Although the index remained above 50 points thresholds that separates expansion from contraction in the sector, the sector growth has been on downtrend since it touched high of 60.8 in August 2018. The decline in the index has been largely due to slower growth in production, supplier deliveries and inventories index. The Supplier Deliveries Index fell down by 2.6 points from April, while inventory and production index declined by 2 and 1 points respectively from April, 2019. However, demand expansion continued with the new Orders Index strengthening and increased to 52.70 in May, 2019 from last month of 51.70, but remains in the low 50s. However, survey respondents have mentioned the border tension & tariff situation between the U.S. and Mexico and trade war between the U.S. and China as two major factors that have been putting downward pressure on the index.

China's Manufacturing Index Drops in Negative Territory, May, 2019

China's manufacturing activity contracted in May, 2019 as manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) declined to 49.4, a decrease of 0.7 points from last month amid ongoing trade war between U.S and China. Among the five sub-indices composing PMI, two indices, production and supplier delivery time, registered above 50 thresholds, while three indices, New orders, Main raw materials inventory and Employed person, experienced contraction of 1.6, 0.2 and 0.2 points on MoM respectively in May, 2019.Index of Production and Supplier delivery time have registered at 51.7 and 59.0 receptively. Index of New orders, Main raw materials inventory and Employed person have registered at 49.8, 47.4 and 47 respectively. The drop in the index has largely been due to contraction in new orders and employment. This contraction suggests that there has been slowdown in sales and hiring.

US Manufacturing PMI Falls to Two and a Half Year Low in April 2019

US manufacturing activity slowed in April, with the ISM purchasing manufacturing index (PMI) registering at 52.8, a decline of 2.5 points from the previous month. Although the index remained above the 50 point threshold that separates expansion from contraction in the sector, the manufacturing sector's growth has been trending downward since its high of 60.8 in August 2018.The decline in the index has been largely due to slower growth in new orders and the falling production index. The new order index fell to 51.7 in April from 57.4 in March, while the production index dropped by another 3.5 points since March. Survey respondents point to US-Mexico border tension - and now the related tariff threats by the US - as well as the ongoing trade war between the US and China as two major factors putting downward pressure on the index.

NAM Manufacturers’ Outlook Survey, Q1, 2019

The U.S. manufacturing sector rebounded a bit in Q1, 2019 as the sector empowered by pro-growth reforms like tax reform and regulatory certainty. Tax reform in particular helped many manufacturers to invest in more hiring and compensation. The manufacturers remain very optimistic about business conditions and confident about the future as well, 89.5 percent of respondents have felt optimistic about their company’s outlook in Q1 2019. Moreover, the NAM manufacturing outlook index rose to 59.7 in Q1, 2019 from 59.1 in Q4, 2018. The index reading above 50 indicates the expansion and below 50 contraction.

Global CEO Survey: 2016 Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index (GMCI)

Nations worldwide have increased their focus on developing advanced manufacturing capabilities through investment in high-tech infrastructure and education, spurring rapid evolution in the nature of global manufacturing, according to the latest global manufacturing study from Deloitte Global and the Council on Competitiveness. Technology-intensive sectors now dominate the global manufacturing landscape in most advanced economies and appear to offer a strong path to achieve or sustain manufacturing competitiveness. In the 2016 GMCI, CEO survey respondents were asked to rank nations in terms of current and future manufacturing competitiveness. Report highlights include:China is the most competitive manufacturing nation…for now. According to the latest report, China remains the most competitive manufacturing nation, but based on the perspectives of global executives, the country will slip to second position behind the US during the next five years.The United States is expected to take over the number one position while Germany will hold firm at number three. The US improved its ranking between the 2010 and 2013 surveys and again between the 2013 and 2016 surveys. Executives anticipate Germany will remain in third position through the application of advanced and sophisticated product and process technologies and materials, among other factors.
