Global Economic Expansion Accelerates (Chart) *Rebounds from post-recession low*


♦♦♦


Global All-Industry Output Index by JPMorgan


Statement by JPMorgan The JPMorgan Global All-Industry Output Index rose to 52.0 in September, up slightly from August's 25-month low of 51.5. Growth ticked higher at global service providers, while the trend in world manufacturing production moved from August's marginal contraction to stagnation. Over Q3 2011 as whole, the rate of all-industry expansion was the least marked since Q3 2009 and well below the near five year high registered in the opening quarter..

Commenting on the Survey David Hensley, Director of Global Economics Coordination at JPMorgan, said: "PMI data signal that global output and new orders both expanded at slightly faster rates in September. The implied pace of increase is still very slow, however, as growth at manufacturers has ground to a halt and conditions in the service sector remain weaker than expected. Increasing signs that the slowdown is impacting on the labor market are disappointing, and may provide an unwelcome constraint on future growth prospects."

Trend The Global PMI Output has decreased 4 of the past 7 months. The short-term trend, intermediate-term trend, and long-term trend continue downwards.

Cycle History The JPMorgan Global All-Industry Output Index reached a Post-Great Recession peak of 59.1% in February 2011. An intermediate term cyclical low of 51.5% was set in both August 2011. which was lower than the November 2009 reading of 51.7%.. The All-Industry Output Index is a percentage - not a total. More about the Index below the chart.

Commentary Global economic expansion continued in September 2011 for the 26th consecutive month and the growth rate rebounded from the August 2011 recovery low. However, the Index has decreased 4 of the past 7 months. For September 2011, the various indexes reported (and are reviewed on this blog and Baidu Planet):
● USA Manufacturing PMI, expanding at a faster rate
● USA Non-Manufacturing (Services) Index, expanding at a slower rate
● China Manufacturing PMI, contracting at  same rate
● Global Manufacturing PMI, contracting from expanding
● Global Non-Manufacturing (Services) Index, expanding at a faster rate
● Global All-Industry Output (Manufacturing + Services), expanding at a faster rate

National Data
● The acceleration in September was mainly driven by the US, where growth of all-industry output hit a six-month high.
China also reported a slight pick-up in its pace of expansion, as did the UK.
● Growth slowed sharply in France and India, and eased in Germany, Russia and Ireland.
● Faster contractions in all-industry activity were signal led by Italy, Spain and Brazil.
● Although Japanese output also fell, the rate of contraction was weaker than during the previous month.

Segment Data
● New Orders The growth trend in global new business also improved during September. However, the rate of expansion remained much slower than those seen around the turn of the year. The acceleration in the latest survey period was also entirely centred on the service sector.
● Employment Global employment fell fractionally for the first time in one-and-a-half years in September, as slightly faster job creation at manufacturers was offset by reduced payroll numbers in the service sector
● Input Prices Cost inflationary pressure eased in September. The rate of increase in average input prices has remained weaker than the survey average throughout Q3 2011.
