US Manufacturing Shows Modest Momentum in January in World Economy News 24/01/2026 The S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI inched up to 51.9 in January 2026, virtually unchanged from December’s 51.8 and broadly in line with market expectations of 52, according to preliminary data. Despite the slight uptick, the index continued to point to the second-weakest improvement in factory business conditions since July, as employment growth slowed to a six-month low. Output growth, however, accelerated to its strongest pace since last August, while new orders rebounded after declining in December. Supplier delivery times lengthened, though at a more moderate pace, and inventories of purchased inputs remained broadly unchanged.
