US manufacturing activity contracted again in November, with the ISM Manufacturing PMI slipping to 48.2, reflecting weaker demand as new orders, backlogs, and employment all declined. While overall production moved back into expansion and prices continued to rise, supplier deliveries sped up and inventories remained lean, signaling mixed conditions. Most industries reported contraction amid ongoing uncertainty tied to tariffs, costs, and supply-chain instability, though a few sectors — including electronics, food and machinery — managed to grow.
