U.S. manufacturing showed solid growth in May 2025, with the Purchasing Managers’ Index rising to 52.0 from 50.2 in previous months. The improvement was driven largely by companies rushing to place orders ahead of expected tariff-related price increases and supply chain disruptions. While this led to record increases in inventory stockpiling and the highest output price inflation since late 2022, manufacturers also experienced significant delivery delays. Employment in the sector increased for the first time in three months, though growth remained modest due to ongoing challenges in finding qualified workers.
