Malaysia Manufacturing Pmi

The Nikkei Malaysia Manufacturing PMI edged down to 47.2 in March 2019 from 47.6 in a month earlier. The latest reading pointed to the sixth consecutive contraction and fastest in three months in factory activity, as both output and new orders dropped. Asian markets were cited as a drag on export sales, while orders from clients in Germany and Japan picked up. Meantime, employment was broadly stable overall, as hiring in some instances was offset by other firms reducing workforce numbers due to softer demand. On the price front, input cost and output prices were broadly unchanged. Lastly, confidence strengthened to its highest in almost a year, supported by improved sales outlook, new projects and products and successful new contract tenders. Manufacturing Pmi in Malaysia is reported by Markit Economics.
