- Production slumped by 10.4 points to 44.5 in September, giving back all the recovery (and more) from August.
- New Orders contracted for the fourth consecutive month, slipping by 6.7 points to 42.2. Softening demand was cited.
- Order Backlogs slowed by 12.6 points to 41.9 as weak new orders saw production shift to working through remaining orders.
- Employment recorded the starkest decline in September, dropping 14.4 points to 40.2 in September and re-entering contractive territory.
- Supplier Deliveries moderated by a further 2.3 points to 59.8.
- Inventories weakened by 8.6 points to 53.0, over five points below the 12-month average. Inventories remain very high, as firms cite having overstocked previously due to supply issues.
- Prices Paid softened in September by 7.7 points to 74.1. Price Paid was the lowest since November 2020 and signals a more substantial slowing of prices charged related to an early sign of contracting demand in specific products.
