The Richmond Manufacturing Index in the United States edged down in August 2026, pointing to a slight cooling in regional factory activity. The index eased to 4 in August from 5 in July 2026.

While the indicator remains in positive territory, suggesting continued expansion, the lower reading indicates a modest loss of momentum in manufacturing conditions across the Richmond Federal Reserve district. The latest data, updated on 25 August 2026, will be closely watched by market participants for signs of how sustained the region’s industrial growth may be in the coming months.
