India's manufacturing sector soars to 14-Month high
India's manufacturing sector just hit its fastest pace in 14 months, with the June PMI jumping to 58.4.
That means factories are busier than ever, thanks to strong demand and a steady flow of new orders.
TL;DR
Export orders near-record highs
Big demand from US buyers pushed export orders to near-record highs.
To keep up, companies hired more people, even as they worked through their finished goods.
Input costs rose at slowest rate in 4 months
Even though iron and steel got pricier, overall input costs actually rose at their slowest rate in four months.
Companies nudged prices up just a bit to balance rising expenses.
Business leaders are still hopeful about the future but feeling cautious about competition and changing trends—plus those stalled trade talks with the US aren't helping confidence much either.
