Preliminary
data released by IHS Markit on Monday revealed that U.S. private sector
business activity continued to grow in early September, albeit at a slower pace
than in August.
According
to the report, the Markit flash manufacturing purchasing manager's index (PMI)
came in at 60.5 in September, down from 61.1 in August. The latest reading
pointed to the slowest expansion in factory activity since April, but marked nonetheless.
Economists had expected the reading to increase to 61.5. A reading above 50
signals an expansion in activity, while a reading below this level signals a
contraction. Supply constraints and material shortages dampened output in
September. As a result, the rate of growth in production was the slowest for 11
months and lead times lengthened substantially. Meanwhile, manufacturers expanded
their workforce numbers at a steeper rate in September, and both new business
and export orders expanded robustly, driven by strong demand conditions. On the
price front, input costs registered another significant rise, albeit slightly
slower than August’s recent high, while the rate of selling price inflation
accelerated to the sharpest since data collection began in May 2007 as firms
passed higher costs on to their clients.
The
Markit flash services purchasing manager's index (PMI) dropped to 54.4 in September,
down from 55.91 in the previous month. This was the lowest reading since December
2020. Economists had expected the reading to slip to 55.0. Contributing to the
softer advance in activity was a weaker gain in new business. Total sales were
also hampered by a quicker drop in new export orders, and one that was the
fastest since December 2020. In addition, employment levels were broadly unchanged during
September, bringing an end to a 14-month sequence of job creation. On the price
front, cost pressures remained historically elevated, as higher supplier prices
and raised wage bills following incentives to entice workers pushed costs up.
Firms sought to pass on greater prices to their clients through a marked increase
in output charges.
Overall,
IHS Markit Flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index came in at 54.5 in September,
down from 55.4 in July. This was the lowest reading since September 2020.
“The
pace of US economic growth cooled further in September, having soared in the
second quarter, reflecting a combination of peaking demand, supply chain delays
and labour shortages,” noted Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at HIS
Markit. “The slowdown was led by a cooling of demand in the service sector,
linked in part to the Delta variant spread. However, while manufacturers have
seen far more resilient demand, factories face growing problems in sourcing
enough supplies and labour to meet orders. Supply chain delays show no signs of
easing, with another near-record lengthening of delivery times in September.
Hence factory output growth also weakened and order book backlogs rose at a
record pace in September.”
