[color=red][size=5][b]US Flash Composite PMI posts at 51.2 in October from 51.0 (Sep)
[/b][/size][/color]
Mainly driven by a faster expansion in manufacturing activity.
However, growth in both sectors remained subdued, with new work rising at the slowest pace in the series.Adjusted for seasonal influences, the IHS Markit Flash U.S. Composite PMIOutput Indexreached 51.2 in October, up from 51.0 during September, to signal the sharpest increase in business activity since July. The latest reading pointed toanother gradual recovery in output growth from the three-and-a-half year low seen in August.
The composite index is based on original survey data from IHS Markit’s PMI surveys of both services and manufacturing. Despite a slightly stronger rate of business activity growth,the forward-looking survey indicators remained subduedin October. New workroseat the slowest pace since this index began in October 2009, which reflected stagnating order books in the service economy. In contrast, manufacturing companies recorded the sharpest increase in new business volumes since April.
Meanwhile, backlogs of work across the private sector economy fell for the third month running in October, reflecting the near-stalling of inflows of new work.Employment numbers also fell for a second month, declining atthe steepest rate since December2009, which survey respondents often attributed to more cautious hiring strategies and a lack of new work to replace completed projects.
Average input costs increased for the first time since July, led by a return to higher input prices in the service sector.Manufacturers reported a softer rise in their operating expenses, with some firms attributing this to lower steel prices. Business expectations continued to edge up from the recent low in August, with optimism the highest for four months.Survey respondents mostly commented on hopes of improvedndomestic economic conditions.
