US Manufacturing Activity Moderated Sharply in January; Construction Spending Rose in December || Monday, February 3, 2014
- The ISM manufacturing index fell sharply to 51.3 in January from 56.5 in December, missing market expectations for a more modest decline to 56.0.
- While the January report on manufacturing activity is disappointing and the headline index is now at an eight-month low, the report accompanying today's release stated that a number of survey respondents cited adverse weather conditions as "a factor negatively impacting their businesses in January". Beyond the weather impact, several respondents' comments were cautiously supportive of further gains in activity, with mentions including "seeing slight improvements" and "cautiously optimistic about increasing volumes". As a result, we expect this weather-related slowdown to be short-lived, with continued gains in manufacturing activity supporting an above-potential pace of economic growth in 2014.
- In a separate report, construction spending rose by 0.1% in December, beating market expectations for a 0.1% decline.
Activity in the US manufacturing sector expanded in January, although
at a more moderate pace than in December. The ISM manufacturing index
fell sharply to 51.3 from 56.5. The decrease in the gauge of
manufacturing activity in January was larger than the decline to 56.0
expected by markets going into today's report.
The moderation in the headline ISM index in January reflected
broad-based declines across the main components. Growth in new orders
moderated sharply with the sub-index down 13.2 points to an eight-month
low of 51.2. Current production fell by a more modest 6.9 points to 54.8
from 61.7 in December. Supplier delivery rose to 54.3 from 53.7 in the
previous month, indicating that shipments from suppliers were slower
(delivery times tend to lengthen as suppliers face more capacity
constraints). The pace at which firms were running down their
inventories increased in January as the inventory change component fell
3.0 points to 44.0. With respect to inflation, the prices paid component
jumped to 60.5 in January from 53.5 in December, marking the second
consecutive month of increasing price gains. Finally, the employment
sub-index fell to 52.3 from 55.8 in December, the sharpest drop since
November 2012 and indicating a slowing in hiring by manufacturing firms
to start the year.
Manufacturing activity in the US expanded for the eighth consecutive
month in January, although the pace of increase moderated sharply to
start the year. While the January report on manufacturing activity is
disappointing, with the headline index now sitting at an eight-month
low, the report accompanying today's release stated that a number of
survey respondents cited adverse weather conditions as "a factor
negatively impacting their businesses in January". Beyond the weather
impact, several respondents' comments were cautiously supportive of
further gains in activity, with mentions including "seeing slight
improvements... across most regions and business segments" and
"cautiously optimistic about increasing volumes". While the sharp
deterioration in the spread between the new orders and inventory change
components (considered a key indicator of future activity) suggests some
near-term restraint for manufacturing activity is possible, we expect
this weather-related slowdown to be short-lived. We anticipate that
continued gains in manufacturing activity will support an
above-potential pace of economic growth in 2014; however, we expect some
retracement in earlier outsized inventory gains will temper this
strength, with GDP growth moderating to a 2.3% pace in Q1/14 from 3.2%
in the Q4/13.
In a separate release, construction spending in the US rose by 0.1%
in December, beating market expectation for a 0.1% decline. The increase
was concentrated entirely in the private sector (+1.0%) with the
residential investment component rising (+2.6%) to build on a 1.1% gain
in November while non-residential private spending declined (-0.7%) to
partially offset a 2.4% rise in the previous month. Public construction
expenditure declined (-2.3%) as both residential and non-residential
investment components decreased (-11.5% and -2.1%, respectively).

As expected, the ECB left interest rates on hold following the latest council meeting with the repo rate at 0.25%.
Unchanged rates ensured that the main focus of attention was again on President Draghi’s press conference. He stated that current monetary conditions were acceptable, but also that the ECB had used stronger language to reinforce its forward guidance that interest rates would be at current rates or lower. The bank wants to avoid any unwanted upward pressure on money-market rates and will also resist any deterioration in the inflation outlook. Any increase in unease surrounding deflation could prompt additional policy action, but he was unwilling to forecast what action would be taken.
