The Commonwealth Bank Manufacturing PMI in Australia rose to 51.2 in June 2020 from a preliminary estimate of 49.8 and May's all-time low of 44. The latest reading pointed to the steepest expansion in factory activity since July last year, amid a further loosening of coronavirus lockdown restrictions, benefiting particularly consumer goods producers. The downturn in sales eased considerably in June, with new orders falling only marginally following unprecedented rates of decline in the previous two months. Meanwhile, the job shedding continued as firms operated below capacity. On the price front, input costs re-accelerated to the highest clip in two years, with firms only able to partially pass on these higher cost to clients. Finally, sentiment improved to a 16-month high.

Industrial Sentiment in Australia averaged 53.12 points from 2016 until 2020, reaching an all time high of 57.20 points in December of 2016 and a record low of 44 points in May of 2020.

Australia Commonwealth Bank Manufacturing PMI
The Commonwealth Bank 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.
