Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika Einkaufsmanagerindex Composite

The S&P Global US Composite PMI rose to 55.3 in November 2024, up from 54.1 in October, preliminary data showed. This reading signaled robust expansion in the country’s private sector, marking the strongest growth since April 2022. However, growth remained uneven across the economy, with the service sector booming (PMI at 57 vs 55 in October), while manufacturing continued to contract (PMI at 48.8 vs 48.5). The rise in activity reflected growing demand, with new orders increasing sharply, marking the strongest uptick in business inflows since May 2022. Employment fell for a fourth consecutive month, while output price inflation eased to its lowest level since prices began rising in June 2020. Firms’ expectations for output in the coming year reached their highest level since May 2022, driven by expectations of lower interest rates, stronger economic growth, and more supportive business policies under the new administration in 2025.
