January 2024 marked the first improvement in the US manufacturing sector since April 2023, as indicated by S&P Global's PMI survey. This modest growth was driven by a rise in new orders and a slower contraction in output, despite challenges like supplier performance decline and longer input deliveries. Input prices escalated due to higher transportation costs, leading to the steepest cost inflation in nine months and prompting firms to increase their selling prices at the fastest rate since April 2023. Employment saw a rise for the first time since September, fueled by greater orders and optimistic output expectations for the year.
