2026.11.0122:00:00UTC+00Australia’s Manufacturing PMI Stalls in Contraction Territory at 49.6 in October

Australia’s manufacturing sector showed no sign of momentum shift in October, with the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI unchanged at 49.6. The reading, recorded for October 2026 and updated on 1 November 2026, matches the previous month’s level and keeps the index below the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction.

The flat reading at 49.6 suggests that operating conditions in the manufacturing sector continue to deteriorate modestly, without either a marked worsening or an improvement. With the PMI stuck in contraction territory, the data signal ongoing pressure on Australian manufacturers, as demand and output remain subdued rather than rebounding.
