US manufacturing contraction deepens

US manufacturing contraction deepens

A US manufacturing slump deepened last month as uncertainty related to President Donald Trump’s tariffs rippled through the sector, according to survey data published on Thursday.

The US leader unveiled sweeping tariffs against most countries in early April, before changing course for many nations, leaving China facing new duties totalling 145 percent before sector-specific measures are taken into account.

The stop-start rollout of the levies, and the ensuing uncertainty, have caused confusion in financial markets, sending volatility surging.

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing index slipped to 48.7 percent in April, a touch below its level in March, and below the 50-point mark separating expansion from contraction.

This was slightly better than the market consensus, according to Briefing.com.

“Demand and production retreated and destaffing continued, as panelists’ companies responded to an unknown economic environment,” ISM survey chief Timothy Fiore said in a statement.

“Prices growth accelerated slightly due to tariffs, causing new order placement backlogs, supplier delivery slowdowns and manufacturing inventory growth,” he added.

Businesses responding to the survey flagged Trump’s trade policy rollout as a key cause for concern.

“Tariff trade wars are incredibly volatile, quickly changing, and disrupting a ton of our current work,” an apparel and leather company respondent told ISM. (AFP)
