Manufacturing activity in New York State experienced the fastest expansion since the end of 2021 in August, as order growth and the backlog of orders remained strong. According to data released on Monday, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's overall manufacturing business status index rose 5 points in August to 20.6. This figure above zero indicates that the manufacturing industry is expanding. Economists previously surveyed by Bloomberg News had a median forecast of 10. The outlook index for the overall business situation over the next six months has also risen, and the index of expectations for new orders has reached its highest level since 2022. The development momentum of the US manufacturing industry has increased this year, consumer demand has shown willfulness, and corporate investment has remained steady, especially in fields related to artificial intelligence construction. However, companies are also facing the challenge of rising raw material prices due to the conflict in Iran and uncertainty about the duration of the conflict. The indicator measuring current undelivered orders jumped 10.5 points to 15.5, the highest level since April 2022. The indicator that measures the current price paid for raw materials has risen for the first time since May, while the reception price index has declined.
