Analisis Data PMI AS oleh Analis: Memprediksi Pemandangan 'Gadis Berambut Emas' Awal Kuartal Ketiga

Data July 24, S&P Global Market Intelligence Chief Business Economist Chris Williamson commented on the U.S. PMI data: “The initial PMI suggests a ‘golden girl’ scenario at the beginning of the third quarter, where the economy is growing at a strong pace, while inflation is slowing down.” However, manufacturers and service providers both reported that the uncertainty surrounding the election intensified, which suppressed investment and hiring. In terms of inflation, the July survey showed that input costs related to raw materials, transportation, and labor costs are rising, and the speed of input cost increases has accelerated. If this continues, these higher costs may lead to higher selling prices, or squeeze profit margins.
