Australian Manufacturing Loses Momentum in October
The IHS Markit Manufacturing PMI in Australia declined to 54.2 in October of 2020 from 55.4 in September, matching a preliminary estimate.

Australia Manufacturing PMI Loses Steam
The IHS Markit Manufacturing PMI in Australia declined to 54.2 in October of 2020 from 55.4 in September, preliminary data showed. The reading pointed to the fifth straight expansion in the factory sector, albeit at a softer pace amid the ongoing easing of coronavirus restrictions. Output and new orders rose at slower rates, while export sales fell back into contraction territory. At the same time, job shedding returned after an increase in employment in September. "An area of concern, however, was the subdued growth in new business, casting doubt on the durability of the current upturn in private sector activity. Furthermore, lacklustre sales meant that firms continued to be saddled with unused capacity,” said Bernard Aw, Principal Economist at IHS Markit.

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.
