The ISM Manufacturing PMI for the US fell to 48.2 in November 2025, the lowest in four months, compared to 48.7 in September and below forecasts of 48.6.
The reading showed that the manufacturing sector contracted for the ninth consecutive month and at a faster pace, led by pullbacks in supplier deliveries (49.3 vs 54.2), new orders (47.4 vs 49.4) and employment (44 vs 46), with 67% of panelists (the same as October) indicating that managing head counts is still the norm at their companies, as opposed to hiring.
Also, price pressures intensified (58.5 vs 58) and backlog of orders decreased more (44 vs 47.9). On the other hand, production rebounded (51.4 vs 48.2) and inventories fell less (48.9 vs 45.8). "Looking at the manufacturing economy, 58% of the sector's GDP contracted in November, matching the previous month's figure, and the percentage of GDP in strong contraction decreased slightly, at 39% compared to 41% in October", Susan Spence, Chair of the ISM said.
