Global All-Industry Output Index by JPMorgan
Official Statement by JPMorgan The JPMorgan Global All-Industry Output Index fell sharply to a six-month low of 54.7 in March, following slower growth of both manufacturing output and service sector activity. National data showed that the slowdown mainly reflected a weaker expansion in the US and a marked contraction in Japan. However, over Q1 2011 as a whole, growth was the strongest since Q2 2006.
● Please note that March data for China services and Hong Kong were not available for inclusion in the global PMI at the time of publication.
● The US saw its rate of expansion remain robust overall – and was still among the best performing nations in both manufacturing and services – but growth eased sharply from the stellar seven-year peak reached in February.
● The devastating impact of the Tohoku earthquake led to a marked decline in economic activity in Japan during March. If the Japanese output index had stayed at its February level, the Global Output Index reading would have been 57.3 in March.
● Although growth eased slightly in the Eurozone during March, it remained close to February's four-and-a-half year peak. The big two of Germany and France continued to lead the rebound. Growth was also recorded in Italy and Ireland, but business activity stagnated in Spain.
● Commenting on the survey, David Hensley, Director of Global Economics Coordination at JPMorgan, said: ""Although the global PMI survey fell sharply in March, the results were substantially influenced by Japan, where the natural disasters slammed activity. The PMI new orders index held up comparatively well as did the employment index. This suggests that the global economy's underlying trend remains solid and that the expansion will be sustained in the coming months."
Trend The overall increase of global economic expansion has now stopped and pulled back, after 3 consecutive monthly increases. The current Global All-Industry Output Index is now below the descending 12-month moving average of 55.8, after being above for 3 consecutive months. (The 12-month moving average chart is not shown on this page).
Cycle History The JPMorgan Global All-Industry Output Index reached a Post-Great Recession peak of 59.2 in February 2011. An intermediate term cyclical low of 51.7 was set in November 2009. The All-Industry Output Index is a percentage - not a total. More about the Index below the chart.

Commentary Global economic expansion continued in March, but at the slowest rate since October 2010. This same trend, a Post-Great Recession peak in February 2011 then a slowing down of expansion in March 2011, has been evident with all the PMIs and NMIs reviewed in recent posts:
● USA Manufacturing PMI
● USA Non-Manufacturing Index
● Global Manufacturing PMI
● Global Non-Manufacturing Index
In addition to the impact of the earthquake in Japan on Global economic expansion, the continuation of high oil prices is of concern as a drag on further economic growth worldwide.
