US Manufacturing Growth Slows in August as ISM PMI Misses Forecasts

BitcoinWorld US Manufacturing Growth Slows in August as ISM PMI Misses Forecasts The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reported that its Manufacturing PMI came in at 54.6 for August, below the forecast of 55.2 and down from the previous month’s reading.

This indicates a continued but slower expansion in the US manufacturing sector, as the index remains above the 50 threshold that separates growth from contraction.
