The IHS Markit Australia Manufacturing PMI was revised higher to 56.9 in February of 2021 from a preliminary estimate of 56.6, still below January's 37-month high of 57.2. Output and new orders increased for an eighth consecutive month, although at a softer pace compared to January, while supply shortages and a further drop in exports were the main drag. On the price front, input cost soared at a record rate amid higher shipping and raw material prices, which, in turn, drove output cost to a level not seen since the survey began. Finally, business expectations for the year ahead improved to a two-year high in February amid prospects for a swifter economic recovery. source: Markit Economics

Australia Markit Manufacturing PMI
The IHS Markit Manufacturing PMI is based on data compiled from monthly replies to questionnaires sent to a representative panel of purchasing executives in over 400 private sector manufacturing firms in Australia. The panel is stratified by GDP and company workforce size. The manufacturing sector is divided into the following nine broad categories: Food & Drink, Textiles & Clothing, Wood & Paper, Chemicals, Plastics & Rubber, Metals & Metal Products, Electronic & Electrical Equipment, Machinery & Equipment, Transport Equipment and Other Manufacturing. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.
