标准普尔全球马来西亚制造业采购经理人指数9月份为49.8,与8月份的14个月高点49.9相比变化不大,表明工厂活动略有下滑。产出略有放缓,而新订单连续第二个月上升,但增速低于8月份。出口需求三个月来首次放缓,企业称美国、欧洲和亚太地区的需求疲软。由于积压工作保持稳定,就业人数连续第三个月下降,结束了13个月的枯竭。购买活动自2022年4月以来涨幅最大,尽管股票积累仍然温和。与此同时,交货时间再次减弱,与港口拥堵和航运延误有关的交付周期略有延长。在通货膨胀方面,投入成本略有上升,为五个月来最低,因为原材料价格下降部分抵消了税收的增加,而产出费用保持不变。最后,由于需求增强和新产品推出的希望,信心攀升至2月以来的最高水平。
The S&P Global Malaysia Manufacturing PMI stood at 49.8 in September, little changed from August’s 14-month high of 49.9, signaling a mild downturn in factory activity. Output eased fractionally while new orders rose for the second month, though at a slower pace than in August. Export demand eased for the first time in three months, with firms citing muted demand from the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Employment fell for the third month as backlogs held steady, ending a 13-month run of depletion. Buying activity rose the most since April 2022, though stock accumulation remained modest. Meantime, delivery time weakened again, with marginally longer lead times linked to port congestion and shipping delays. On inflation, input costs rose slightly, the softest in five months, as higher taxes were partly offset by lower raw material prices, while output charges were unchanged. Lastly, confidence climbed to its highest since February on hopes of stronger demand and new product launches.
