Soeben wurde die Einkaufsmanagerindizes für die USA (Markit PMI; November) veröffentlicht – einer der besten Gradmesser für die US-Wirtschaft:
Gesamtindex: 56,5 (Vormonat war 57,6)
Verarbeitendes Gewerbe: 59,1 (Prognose war 59,0; Vormonat war 58,4)
Dienstleistung: 57,9 (Prognose war 59,0; Vormonat war 58,7)
Dazu kommentiert Chris Williamson von Markit, das die Daten erhoben hat:
“The US economy continues to run hot. Despite a slower rate of expansion of business activity in November, growth remains above the survey’s long-run pre-pandemic average as companies continue to focus on boosting capacity to meet rising demand. “However, the slowdown underscores how the economy is struggling to cope with ongoing supply constraints. Although supplier delivery delays eased to the lowest for six months, the lengthening of lead times remains far greater than anything seen prior to the pandemic, restricting output relative to demand and
once again causing prices to rise sharply. “Input cost inflation spiked sharply higher in November to reach a new survey high, adding to pressure for firms to pass the recent surge in costs on to customers in order to protect margins. Although some resistance to higher prices was seen in the survey responses, serving to dampen demand growth to the slowest for nearly a year, average prices charged for goods and services continued to rise at an unprecedented rate.“
