Estados Unidos PMI Composto

The S&P Global US Composite PMI remained relatively steady at 52.1 in March 2024, just a notch below the preliminary estimate of 52.2 and slightly lower than the prior month's eight-month low of 52.5. Still, this figure still indicated a robust monthly uptick in overall business activity, with factory activity rising at its swiftest pace in nearly two years and growth in the service sector moderating slightly. Although there was only a modest increase in total new orders, international demand remained stable. Moreover, employment continued its upward trajectory, and backlogs of work saw a reduction. Turning to pricing dynamics, both input costs and output prices saw accelerated inflation, reaching six- and ten-month highs respectively. Lastly, business confidence saw an uptick in March.
