PMI Revised Lower, Softest Charge Inflation Since May 2020

US DATA

S&P Global service and composite PMIs were revised down in the final January print. Within the details, only a marginal rise in services output prices led to the weakest increase in overall charge inflation since May 2020. Full release here.

  • Services: 52.5 in Jan final (flash 52.9) from 51.4 in Dec
  • Composite: 52.0 in Jan final (flash 52.3) from 50.9 in Dec
  • "An expansion in service sector output counteracted a decrease in manufacturing production."
  • "The rise in new business was broad-based, however, as manufacturers and service providers saw a moderate increase in client demand. The rate of growth was the quickest in seven months, despite being weighed down by a second successive monthly drop in new export orders."
  • "Cost burdens faced by firms rose at a softer pace compared to December, and one that was slower than the series trend. Although manufacturers recorded a faster uptick in selling prices, only a marginal rise in services output prices led to the weakest rate of overall charge inflation since May 2020."
