The June 2025 Chicago PMI declined to 40.4, falling below expectations and marking the 19th consecutive month of contraction in the Chicago-area manufacturing sector. The drop was due to lower readings in supplier deliveries, production, employment, and order backlogs, which hit a low point not seen since May 2020. This continued contraction, below the 50-point threshold indicating contraction, is largely attributed to instability caused by ongoing uncertainty surrounding tariffs. |

The Chicago PMI fell back by 8.9 points to 46.9 in December from 55.8 in November to reverse almost all of its remarkable November rise from 44.0 in October. The December result was much weaker than the consensus 50.0 expectation and below the range of forecasts at 49.4 to 53.0, just as the November result was far above forecasts. The Chicago report, which includes both manufacturing and non-manufacturing businesses, is highly volatile, presumably reflecting a small sample size. The November surge may also have reflected the impact of the end of the UAW autoworkers strike. |
