FX.co ★ Mexico's Manufacturing PMI Dips to 48.50 in August, Marking Steady Decline

The latest S&P Global Mexico Manufacturing PMI reveals a dip to 48.50 in August 2024, continuing a troubling trend from the previous month's 49.60. This decline indicates a significant contraction in the country's manufacturing sector, with the latest data updated as of September 02, 2024.

In July, the index had already fallen below the neutral threshold of 50, which separates expansion from contraction, settling at 49.60. The further slide to 48.50 in August highlights ongoing challenges in the manufacturing landscape, possibly signaling weaker economic conditions ahead for Mexico.

Market analysts and businesses alike will be closely watching the next release to see if this downward trend persists, as sustained declines could have broader implications for Mexico's overall economic health and industrial capabilities.
