CANADA DATA: Mfg PMI At Highest Since Early 2023, Selling Prices Lag
CANADA DATA
- The S&P Global Canadian manufacturing PMI increased from 49.5 to 50.4 in September for its highest monthly reading since Feb 2023. Full press release here.
- “Supported by marginal gains in new orders and employment, operating conditions in Canada’s manufacturing economy strengthened during September. Confidence in the outlook also improved and output showed signs of stablising.”
- “Amid reports that market demand conditions remained subdued overall, however, purchasing activity fell slightly.”
- “On the price front, input cost inflation accelerated to its highest level for nearly a year-and-a-half. Output charges increased only modestly, however” and with the latter “at a noticeably slower degree than in August”.
- Market reaction is firmly overshadowed by risk off flows following reports Iran is preparing a ballistic missile attack against Israel.
