🚨 American manufacturing has just issued another warning 📉⚠️
The latest report from ISM is out — and it’s not pretty.
Manufacturing PMI: 48.2 → below 50, indicating that the contraction is worsening.
New orders: 47.4 → demand is rapidly declining.
Employment: 44.0 → factories are sharply cutting jobs.
Prices paid: 58.5 → costs continue to rise despite the slowdown.
This is the nightmare mix for officials:
💥 Weak growth
💥 High costs
💥 Declining demand
Slowdown with persistent inflation is the definition of walking a tightrope — and the markets know it.
Projects like $RIVER , $MERL , $FOLKS may feel the volatility first as traders reposition around macro risks.
Stay cautious.
The data is escalating. 🔥📉
