AUSTRALIA MANUFACTURING PMI SLOWS IN AUGUST - MARKIT
The manufacturing sector in Australia continued to expand in August, albeit at a much slower rate, the latest survey from Markit Economics showed on Monday with a 14-month low manufacturing PMI score of 51.7.
That's down from 56.9 in July, although it remains above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
New orders and output both fell into contraction territory, ending the 13-month growth streaks across both indices. While the lingering disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic affected both demand and production, firms also reported that supply issues had constrained output. Indeed, suppliers' delivery times continued to lengthen, and at the most severe pace since April 2020.
Price pressures eased slightly in August, though both input costs and output charges continued to increase at rates well above their respective survey averages. Firms were generally cautious with regards to their input inventories, which were broadly unchanged from July, but held a slightly more positive view towards output in the next 12 months.
The survey also showed that the services PMI fell from 44.2 in July to 43.3 in August, while the composite slipped from 45.2 in July to 43.5 this month.

PHILIPPINES MANUFACTURING SECTOR FALLS INTO CONTRACTION - MARKIT
The manufacturing sector in the Philippines fell into contraction in August, the latest report from Markit Economics showed on Wednesday with a manufacturing PMI score of 46.4.
That's down from 50.4 in July, and it falls beneath the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
The re-introduction of Enhanced Quarantine Measures (ECQ) in Metro Manilla forced factory and business closures in one of the Philippines largest manufacturing regions in August. Output and new orders fell sharply, although the rates of decline were not as severe as those seen during the first lockdown in March-May 2020.
Nevertheless, weak demand led to cost saving efforts and the consequent reduction in inventory levels and employment in August. Meanwhile, virus-related restrictions weighed heavily on lead times with port congestions and material shortages again a key theme in the latest survey period.
