Manufacturing PMI Report Shows Continued Price Pressures​

ITALY DATA

June Italian Manufacturing PMI came in exactly in line with expectations at 62.2 (May: 62.3).

  • From the IHS Markit release: "Key to the sustained upturn in June were further expansions of both new orders and output, with growth remaining rapid, despite slowing from their respective all-time and 40-month record rates. According to anecdotal evidence, improved client confidence, firmer demand conditions and the easing of lockdown measures were key drivers of the latest increases".
  • Employers took on workers to meet the quickest rise in backlogs in series history - overall, supply chain pressures and other factors boosted inflation pressures, a common theme in recent months.
  • From the report: "Shortages continued to push costs higher still during June, according to panellists, with the rate of input price inflation the strongest in the survey's history [going back 24 years]. Factory gate charges also rose, with the pace of increase slowing only slightly from May's record. Respondents noted that greater costs burdens had been passed through to clients where possible."
