Manufacturing Prices Are Surging: “Everyone’s Going Nuts” | September 2026 ISM Report
The September 2026 ISM Manufacturing Report shows a manufacturing sector that remains relatively steady — but the details tell a more complicated story. Susan Spence, Chair of the ISM Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, joins Manufacturing Talk Radio hosts Lew Weiss and Amy Nicklaus to break down the latest PMI numbers and the trends manufacturers should be watching. The conversation covers rising prices, new orders, production, employment, backlogs, supplier delays and exports, along with the impact of tariffs, Canada-U.S. trade, geopolitical uncertainty and longer supply chain lead times. Susan also explains why the Supplier Deliveries Index could be making the headline PMI look stronger than some underlying indicators suggest, why manufacturer sentiment matters, and which numbers could provide the earliest clues about where manufacturing is headed next. Listen for a straightforward look at the September ISM Manufacturing PMI and what it could mean for manufacturers heading into the final months of 2026. Learn more about your ad choices.
