摘要：	KEEPING IN LINE with its previous edition released in December 2020, the Institute for Supply Managements (ISM) Spring 2021 Semiannual Economic Forecast continues to point to ongoing economic growth through the remainder of 2021. For manufacturing, ISM is estimating a 7.2% revenue gain in 2021, topping the 6.9% projection made in its previous report, and would outpace 2020s 1.3% annual decline by 8.5%. And 59% of the report's manufacturing survey respondents are calling for revenues to be up annually in 2021, with all of the 18 manufacturing sectors tracked by ISM pegged for revenue growth. According to ISM, manufacturing has been on an upswing going back to June 2020, and its March PMI, the reading used by ISM to measure growth, came in at its highest level since November 1983. Manufacturing capital expenses (capex) are expected to see an 8.7% annual increase, far ahead of December's 2.4% projection, with the 27% of the report's respondents indicating that capex will rise in 2021, pointing to an expected average increase of 46%. Manufacturing capacity utilization, or operating rate, which came in at 88.3% of normal capacity, its highest reading since 2016, is 2.6% above December's 85.7% reading, with production capacity expected to be up 5.3%, matching January's 5.3% reading and far ahead of 2020's 0.5% annual increase.
