Reported about 10 hours ago

US manufacturing has contracted for eight months straight, as indicated by a decline in the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index to 48.7 in October. The output has decreased, contributing to slower hiring and uncertainties surrounding trade policy. While inflationary pressures show signs of easing, with declining prices for raw materials, manufacturing remains subdued with many industries reporting contraction amid economic uncertainty.
