Biden Puts America’s Economy Into a Death Spiral

Inflation signals increased in August even while the rate of growth in manufacturing unexpectedly decreased in the month of August, according to data from the Fed Bank of Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Fed’s data, which was gotten from manufacturers, revealed the current index going from 21.9 to 19.4 in August, the regional bank stated on Thursday.

Economists previously forecasted a boost in the index to 25.

Yet the slowdown in the rate of growth did not pull back price increases. On the contrary, the price indexes increased in August.

The index of prices by manufacturers for their goods went up by 7 points to 53.9, its highest data since May of 1974. The index for prices given for materials went up 2 points to 71.2, after lowering 10 points from last month from the month of June’s 42-year high.

The median prediction for manufacturers’ prices was for a boost of 5.0 percent over the incoming four quarters, the same as was reported in May. The real price change over the previous year was 3.0 percent.

Companies believe their employee compensation costs will go up by 4.0 percent over the incoming four quarters, which is the same as reported in May.

When asked about inflation for United States consumers over the next twelve months, the median forecast was 5.0 percent, an increase from 4.0 percent back in May. The median prediction for inflation over the next ten years was reported at 3.0 percent, which was the same as reported in May.

The new order index increased, while the current index of shipments lowered. The current employment index increased, as did the average workweek index increase 6 points to 24.5.

Other than the inflation metrics, most of the other future activity indexes also slowed. The index for future activity lowered, the second consecutive decline after getting to a 30-year high in June. Almost 46 percent of manufacturers predict growth over the incoming six months, down by a lot from the 59 percent last month. Twelve percent anticipate a decrease in activity.
