Free AccessMNI DATA IMPACT: Chicago Biz Barometer Bounces Back In August
--MNI Chicago Business Barometer 50.4 Aug Vs 44.4 July
LONDON (MNI) - The Chicago Business Barometer, produced by MNI, rose to
50.4 in August, up from 44.4 last month, helped by a recovery in Order Backlogs.
The index had been in contractionary territory for the previous two months.
The following are the key points from the August MNI Chicago Report:
-Order Backlogs recovered to 51.3 in August after three straight months
below 50. The index stood at 43.5 in July
-Only two of the Business Activity components saw a monthly decline.
Supplier Deliveries saw a sharp fall, dropping to 50.3 from July's 55.6.
-The survey still suggests a softer overall tone in business activity
despite the August pick-up in sentiment, as the three-month average fell again,
dipping to 48.2.
-Production remains muted, despite a pickup of 6.7 points. Demand recovered
slightly, highlighted by an increase in New Orders, which shifted back into
expansion.
-Labour demand improved in August, with the Employment indicator rising
slightly to 43.7, although the component remained in contraction for a second
month.
-Prices Paid at the factory gate ticked up 3.7 points, reaching a
five-month high of 59.8 - still a long way shy of the 12-month high 79.8 seen in
September 2018.
-The time taken to source Production Material fell to 40.9 in August after
reaching a series high of 57.4 in July. Time to source MRO supplies eased for
the second successive time to 10.0 days, while sourcing time for Capital
Equipment fell to 133.4.
