What happened

The US manufacturing PMI rose to 55.5 in October from 54.5 in September, exceeding economists' expectations. Consumer and AI-related business spending supported growth, but the input-prices reading remained elevated at 75.2, adding to concerns that US inflation could stay above the Federal Reserve's 2% target.

Why it matters

For India, stronger US activity may support demand for exports, while persistent inflation concerns could keep US interest-rate expectations firm and weigh on foreign flows or the rupee.

Global impact

No wider market reaction is reported. Stronger US factory activity can lift expectations for global demand, while elevated input prices can renew inflation and interest-rate concerns.
