Import prices declined for the first time in 10 months in August, other data showed on Wednesday. Persistent bottlenecks in the supply chain could, however, keep inflation high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/us-import-prices-post-first-decline-10-months-2021-09-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"Reuters (opens in a new tab)\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US: Empire State Manufacturing Index Improves to 34.3 in September vs. 18 Expected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The headline General Business Conditions Index of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York&#8217;s Empire State Manufacturing Survey rose to 34.3 in September from 18.3 in August. This reading beat the market expectation of 18 by a wide margin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The index for number of employees rose eight points to 20.5, and the average workweek index increased fifteen points to 24.3, pointing to strong gains in employment and hours worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"FX Street (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fxstreet.com\/news\/us-empire-state-manufacturing-index-improves-to-343-in-september-vs-18-expected-202109151246\" target=\"_blank\">FX Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Germany Squeezed by Supply Chains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe\u2019s largest economies are starting to feel the squeeze from fraying supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The speed of Germany\u2019s recovery is being put at risk as companies in the manufacturing powerhouse report shortages of materials ranging from memory chips to lower-tech parts and even basics such as wooden pallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany is enduring the squeeze in other ways too: imported inflation there surged to 15% in August, fueling a surge in overall consumer price growth in the euro region that was the fastest in a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2021-08-31\/what-s-happening-in-the-world-economy-germany-squeezed-by-supply-chains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"Bloomberg (opens in a new tab)\">Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hurricane Ida, supply constraints hold back U.S. factory production; US: Empire State Manufacturing Index improves to 34.3 in September vs. 18 expected; Germany Squeezed by Supply Chains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Week 37 in Manufacturing News - Blog for Manufacturers and Distributors<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Manufacturing news week 37 in 2021.
