Electronics Supply Chain Weekly Digest 11-3-23

DATAPOINT OF THE WEEK: S&P reported Eurozone October mfg. PMI of 43.1 vs 43.4 in September and Germany mfg. PMI of 40.8 vs 39.6 in September reflecting continued steep declines in new orders, purchasing activity, and output. The report also indicated the fastest reduction in factory employment since Aug 2020 as business confidence dropped to an 11-month low. In the US, S&P reported October mfg. PMI of 50.0 vs 49.8 in Sep, reflecting relative stability with slight increase in output and new orders but downward revisions to the year-ahead output expectations which resulted in reduced employment for the first time since July 202. ISM reading on US manufacturing in October was more subdued with PMI of 46.7 vs. 49 in Sep reflecting a faster pace of decline in orders, pricing, backlog, and employment, partially offset by stable output. In China, government official PMI unexpectedly slipped back into contraction territory at 49.5 in Oct vs 50.2 in Sept. That was echoed by the private Caixin PMI of 49.5 in October vs. 50.6 in September reflecting declines in employment and output due to muted end demand, particularly for exports.
