US manufacturing activity unexpectedly advanced in May as new orders and output growth quickened, suggesting underlying demand remains solid.

The Institute for Supply Management’s gauge of factory activity increased to 56.1 last month from 55.4 in April, according to data released Wednesday. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. The figure exceeded most economists’ estimates in a Bloomberg survey, which had a median projection of 54.5.

“Employment levels, driven primarily by turnover and a smaller labor pool, remain the top issue affecting further output growth,” Fiore said. Fifteen manufacturing industries reported overall growth last month, led by apparel, printing and machinery. “Our order books are still strong. Material prices continue to rise, with energy and freight noted as the underlying influences on increased costs.” – Machinery

“Price increases haven’t let up. I thought 2022 was going to be better, but it hasn’t been. Shortages are still disrupting the supply chain.” – Plastics & Rubber
