The S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI edged down to 53.8 in July 2026 from 53.9 in June, falling short of market expectations of 54.3, according to the preliminary estimate. Despite the slight decline, the index remained close to its highest levels in more than four years. The modest slowdown reflected a sharp easing in production growth, which weakened to its slowest pace since March, while new orders expanded at the weakest rate in four months. Slower inventory accumulation, following exceptionally strong stockbuilding in May and June, also weighed on the headline PMI. These headwinds were partly offset by a renewed increase in factory employment and longer supplier delivery times. Unlike the delays typically associated with strong demand, the latest deterioration in supplier performance was primarily linked to supply disruptions stemming from the Middle East.
