A
report from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) showed on Monday the U.S.
manufacturing sector’s activity expanded in April albeit at a slower pace than in
March.
The
ISM's index of manufacturing activity came in at 60.7 percent last month, down
4.0 percentage points from an unrevised March reading of 64.7 percent. The April reading pointed to the
growth in the manufacturing sector for the 11th straight month but at the
slowest pace since January.
Economists'
had forecast the indicator to increase to 65.0 percent.
A
reading above 50 percent indicates expansion, while a reading below 50 percent
indicates contraction.
According
to the report, the New Orders Index stood at 64.3 percent, down 3.7 percentage
points from the March reading, while the Production Index came in at 62.5
percent, a drop of 5.6 percentage points compared to the March reading, the
Employment Index was at 55.1 percent, 4.5 percentage points lower than the
March reading, the Supplier Deliveries Index recorded 75 percent, down 1.6
percentage points from the March figure, and the Inventories Index registered 46.5
percent, 4.3 percentage points lower than the March reading. Meanwhile, the
Backlog of Orders Index registered 68.2 percent, 0.7 percentage point higher
compared to the March reading, and the
Prices Index posted 89.6 percent, up 4 percentage points compared to the March
reading.
Timothy
R. Fiore, Chair of the ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, noted that
the manufacturing economy continued its growth in April but Survey Committee members
reported that their companies and suppliers continue to struggle to meet
increasing rates of demand due to COVID-19 impacts limiting availability of
parts and materials. “Recent record-long lead times, wide-scale shortages of
critical basic materials, rising commodities prices and difficulties in transporting
products are continuing to affect all segments of the manufacturing economy,”
he said. “Worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to part shortages, and
difficulties in filling open positions continue to be issues that limit
manufacturing-growth potential.” Fiore also said that the past relationship
between the PMI and the overall economy indicated that the PMI for April (60.7
percent) corresponds to a 5-percent increase in real gross domestic product
(GDP) on an annualized basis.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
