U.S. Manufacturing Growth Slows in August; Eurozone Sees Strongest Expansion in Four Years
In August, U.S. manufacturing activity slowed with declines in new orders and factory employment, while input prices remained high due to supply chain pressures. The Institute for Supply Management's PMI fell to 54.6 but still indicated growth. Conversely, Eurozone manufacturing expanded at its fastest pace in over four years, with the PMI rising to 52.7, driven by stronger new orders and factory output, particularly in Germany and France. Both regions face ongoing supply challenges amid geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns.
