[Washington 1 -day Reuters] -The US Supply Management Association (ISM) announced on the 1st of the manufacturing index in August, 59.9, rose to the market forecast.New orders were strong.However, due to the shortage of labor, employment was the lowest level in nine months.The market forecast was 58.6.
July was 59.5.
In August, the new order index rose for the first time in three months, 66.7.Companies are desperate to replenish the stocks that have decreased significantly in the first half of this year, and are drawing demand.The accumulation of inventory, which is expected to be a major growth factor in gross domestic production (GDP) in the year and early 2022, is suppressed by the supply constraints.
The index on delivery from the supplier to the manufacturer fell in August, which showed some improvements.
The purchase price index fell to 79.4 from 85.7 in July, to a low level for the first time in eight months.In June, the highest 92.1 has been recorded, which may indicate that prices have peaked.
However, the shortage of workers continues.The employment index has fallen to 49.0, which has been low since November last year.According to Timothy Fiore of ISM, workers are seeking better employment conditions.
It may have adversely affected the increase in employment in August.According to the Economist survey conducted by Reuters, the employment statistics in August are expected to increase by 750,000 non -agricultural sector employees.
