The S&P's manufacturing index fell to 46.2 in December from 47.7 in November, for its lowest reading since May 2020, when most of the country was in lockdown and remains unchanged from the preliminary reading.
Meanwhile, ISM's report saw factory activity drop from 49.0 in November to 48.4 last month. Any reading below 50.0 indicates a contraction in that sector.
This is particularly bad news since there is pent-up demand from the plandemic lockdowns. The economy could have been on solid ground were it not for the anti-growth policies of the Biden junta, in particular the destruction of our petroleum industry. Domestic production of fossil fuels is an incredible and direct injection of value into the economy. Petroleum is fungible, and is essentially cash backed by tangible assets, unlike the money printed by the government.
