The Manufacturing World Suddenly Goes Into Reverse: Global August PMI Summary
While yesterday everyone was focusing on the ongoing escalation in Ukraine, or BBQing, the real story was the sudden and quite dramatic collapse, or as we called it, "bloodbath" in global manufacturing as tracked by various PMI indices.
Here, via Bank of America, is the bottom line: as the below table shows, out of the 26 countries that have reported so far, 9 reported improvements in their manufacturing sectors in August, while 15 recorded a weakening, and 2 remained unchanged. A reading above 50 reflects expansion, while below 50 indicates contraction. In this regard, there were 5 countries in negative territory and 21 in positive. In particular, Brazil, Greece, Korea and Turkey moved from contraction to expansion, while Australia and Italy did the reverse. The biggest concern: virtually every core and pierphral Eurozone country of note (from France and Germany to Spain and Italy) saw substantial contraciton. Which, as is well-known in the New Normal, is the stuff new all time S&P500 highs are made of.

Yeeeeehaaaaa, looks like another year of not working.
Not a lot of disposable income for people working 29.5 hr/wk jobs.
Even less for those that got suckered into buying over priced government healthcare.
Bad news is good news!!!
Black IS white these days.
"Black IS white..."
Thank gawd for Obozo since he is both and can swing with the prevailing breeze.
Russian sanction boomerang!
those that got suckered into buying over priced government healthcare.
I think you mean "those who were forced to buy over priced government healthcare."
If it's "required by law," violence stands behind it.
I feel for you. Was out 16 of 19 months prior to June of this year.
It is mind numbing. Keep your head about you and keep faith.
More sanctions against Russia are needed. That will help Europe. Idiots. They want to be as stupid and retarded as the Kenyan Democrat.
Go Ireland,fuck those pricks in Brussels..........
Bullish! Worth 50 points on the S&P, at least.
The first liar doesn't stand a chance. Has this data been "massaged" properly???
Perhaps the 'inflationary universe" theory is wrong, and now everything is reversing to eventually collapse on itself (?)
Damn, mess up one decimal point in an equation, and everything goes to hell in a commodity basket . . .
"Dam it Jim, I'm not a Kenyisian Witch Doctor !

Gosh, some news is simply too "Boaring...."
this is so bullish i have to touch myself all over
most interesting fact - there are only 26 countries left which still have some manufacturing base
Of course they are all slowing down, they don't have a Nobel Prize winning Prez like ours.
Find a way to categorize Ebola as manufacturing and everything is solved.
It's called grilling. BBQ is food.
Bbq is a "type" or "style" or flavor of food.
You could eat a burger.
You dont eat a bbq.
Tho you could eat a bbq burger.
;)
(But yes..it was cooked on the grill.)
Well, iron eating bacteria CAN eat barbecues (made from, of course, iron) :-)
For the benefit of those who have struggled with the meaning of the word "Sophistry," I present Exhibit A. (Said, of course, with a smile and a happy up twinkle.)
like a mile long train wiht the wheels locked but still moving forward schreeching to a sudden halt ...... time for war....
Kudos to all those who decided to drop in on this article. It's subjects like this that are the real driving forces, the forces that carry the currents.
As I've been saying: Growth is dead.
esum (above) described it quite succinctly!
US must have no manufacturing left whatsoever since it's nowhere on that list...
But does it really matter when there are no real customers (able to pay)?
All that you see happening can be explained quite readily: "Economies of scale in reverse."
Time to put The Doors on the play list...
