Preliminary
data released by IHS Markit on Friday revealed that U.S. private sector
business activity recorded its record expansion in April.
According
to the report, the Markit flash manufacturing purchasing manager's index (PMI)
came in at 60.6 in April, up from 59.1 in March. The latest reading pointed to
a record expansion in factory activity. Economists had expected the reading to
increase to 60.5. A reading above 50 signals an expansion in activity, while a
reading below this level signals a contraction. Manufacturers noted a steep
increase in output during April, but many firms stated that production capacity
was hampered by an inability to source raw materials and inputs in a timely
manner. Subsequently, backlogs of work grew markedly. Meanwhile, input costs rose
at the sharpest rate since July 2008 due to severe supplier shortages and significant
rises in transportation fees.
The
Markit flash services purchasing manager's index (PMI) jumped to 63.1 in April,
up from 60.4 in the previous month. Economists had expected the reading to grow
to 61.9. The rate of expansion was the fastest since data collection for the
series began in October 2009, driven by stronger client demand and the
reopening of many businesses amid the easing of restrictions. New business
growth accelerated notably to the sharpest on record, with total sales
supported by a solid advance in new export orders. In line with an improvement
in customer demand, the level of outstanding business increased at the steepest
rate since September 2020, while the pace of job creation was the fastest since
November 2020.
Overall,
IHS Markit Flash U.S. Composite PMI Output Index came in at 62.2 in April, up from
59.7 in March, reaching the highest level since data collection began in
October 2009.
Chris
Williamson, Chief Business Economist at HIS Markit noted: “The US economy is
enjoying a strong start to the second quarter, firing on all cylinders as
loosening virus restrictions, an impressive vaccine roll-out, a brighter
outlook and stimulus measures all helped boost demand.”

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
