10月份,澳大利亚柔道银行制造业采购经理人指数为47.3,高于9月份的46.7,标志着制造业状况连续第九个月下降。新订单大幅下降,将收缩延长至近两年,而出口订单因主要市场需求减少而大幅下降。产量也有所下降,但速度比9月份慢,制造商以2016年5月以来的最快速度清理未完成的工作。就业水平连续第五个月下降,为7月以来最大跌幅。采购活动急剧下降,在需求下降的情况下,企业不愿持有过剩的原材料。由于红海地区和亚洲的延误,交货时间延长,而运输成本和投入价格上涨。尽管存在这些挑战,但商业情绪仍然乐观,因为企业预计经济状况会改善,支持未来的生产。
The Judo Bank Australia Manufacturing PMI registered at 47.3 in October, an increase from 46.7 in September, marking the ninth consecutive month of declining manufacturing conditions. New orders fell sharply, extending the contraction to nearly two years, while export orders decreased more significantly due to reduced demand from key markets. Production also declined but at a slower pace than in September, with manufacturers clearing outstanding work at the fastest rate since May 2016. Employment levels fell for the fifth straight month, marking the steepest decline since July. Purchasing activity dropped sharply, with firms hesitant to hold excess raw materials amid falling demand. Delivery lead times lengthened due to delays in the Red Sea region and Asia, while shipping costs and input prices rose. Despite these challenges, business sentiment remained positive, as firms anticipated improved economic conditions supporting future production.
