Le secteur manufacturier canadien met fin à 11 mois de recul : le PMI atteint 50,4, signalant une stabilisation. L'emploi progresse légèrement et la confiance s’améliore, malgré un recul persistant, mais marginal des nouvelles commandes. (En anglais).
Canada’s manufacturing sector saw the end of an 11-month downturn in output in January, with the S&P Global Canada Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) showing a stabilization in the market.
The PMI edged above the critical 50.0 no-change mark in January for the first time in a year to signal an improvement in overall operating conditions. After accounting for seasonal factors, the index recorded 50.4, up from 48.6 and a 12-month high.
Job numbers also improved slightly amid signs of an uplift in confidence amongst manufacturers about the future, though new orders continued to fall, albeit at a marginal pace and the weakest rate in 12 months.
However, tariffs continued to weigh on sector performance as exports fell again, especially to the neighbouring United States. Tariffs also underpinned a sharp rise in input costs and manufacturers responded to a further squeeze on margins by increasing their own charges to the greatest degree since March 2025.
