标准普尔全球快报澳大利亚制造业采购经理人指数从3月份的52.1降至4月份的两个月低点51.7。制造业产出继续扩大，新订单增速仅小幅上升。新业务的增长主要受到国内需求的推动，因为在关税相关的不确定性下，新的出口订单连续第二个月收缩。商业信心进一步减弱，乐观情绪降至去年10月以来的最低水平。积压工作连续第二个月增加，因为制造业和服务业公司都报告了未完成业务量的增加，供应延迟导致制造业积压工作两年多来首次增加。为了管理工作量，公司继续以稳定的速度招聘，保持了年初开始的就业增长势头。由于材料、能源和劳动力成本上涨，投入成本压力仍然较高，货币走弱进一步推高了成本，尤其是对商品生产商而言。
The S&P Global Flash Australia Manufacturing PMI slipped to a two-month low of 51.7 in April, down from 52.1 in March. Manufacturing output continued to expand, the pace of new orders rose only modestly. Growth in new business was driven largely by domestic demand, as new export orders contracted for a second straight month amid tariff-related uncertainties. Business confidence weakened further, with optimism falling to its lowest level since last October. Backlogs of work increased for a second month, as both manufacturing and services firms reported rising volumes of outstanding business, with supply delays contributing to the first rise in manufacturing backlogs in over two years. To manage workloads, firms continued hiring at a steady pace, maintaining job growth momentum that began at the start of the year. Input cost pressures remained elevated due to higher material, energy, and labor expenses, with a weaker currency further inflating costs, particularly for goods producers.
