US manufacturing sector regresses in April; prices paid near two-year high

By Economic Times - 7 months ago
U.S. manufacturing experienced a contraction in April as orders declined, reversing a brief expansion seen in March. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported that its manufacturing PMI dropped to 49.2 from 50.3 in March. This decline, below the 50 mark indicating growth, reflects constraints due to higher borrowing costs and a shift in spending towards services.
