Markit’s latest global sector PMI data indicated weakening output growth in the global basic materials industry in March. This reflected slowdowns in both metals & mining and chemicals. In contrast, forestry & paper products was at the top of the detailed sector rankings during the month. Metals & mining posted a lower Output Index reading than any other sector in March. At 50.5, the latest data still indicated expansion, but at a marginal rate.
