The August 2025 Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey showed regional factory activity weakening, with the general activity index slipping to -0.3, new orders turning negative, and shipments slowing though still positive. Employment continued to rise modestly, while price pressures remained elevated, with input costs at their highest since 2022. Firms forecast their own prices to rise 4.1% over the next year and expect consumer inflation at 3.6%, though wage growth projections eased. Despite current softness, firms expressed stronger optimism for the next six months, with future orders, shipments, and capital spending expectations reaching multi-month highs.
