Global Manufacturing Index Indicates Output Should Gain Speed in New Year

摘要

At 53.9 in November, up further from September's 14-month low, JPMorgan Global Manufacturing PMI rose to its highest level since July. The headline PMI has now remained above the no-change mark of 50.0 for 17 consecutive months.rnAmong the larger nations covered by the survey, PMIs rose in China (eight-month high), Germany (three-month peak), the UK (highest since September 1994), France (ten-year high) and India (six-month peak). The Japan and Brazil PMIs also increased, but, in contrast to the other nations mentioned, remained below the 50.0 no-change mark.
