US Manufacturing PMI Unexpectedly Rises in May

The S&P Global Flash US Manufacturing PMI increased to 52.3 in May 2025, the highest in three months, compared to 50.2 in April and beating forecasts of 50.1.

The reading signalled the strongest improvement in business conditions since June 2022, as factory production moved back into expansion territory after two months of decline, and new order growth hit a 15-month high.

However, the biggest positive contribution came from inventories, which rose to the greatest extent recorded since the survey began in 2009. Longer delivery times – which are typically associated with busier manufacturing supply chains also helped push the PMI higher, with delays the most pronounced in 31 months.

However, employment fell for a second successive month and manufacturers’ selling prices posted the largest monthly increase since September 2022. Input costs rose at the sharpest rate since August 2022.
