FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MONTREAL, QC, June 29, 2021 (Press Release) – Numera today released the latest update of its Global Manufacturing Tracker, which reveals manufacturing output continued to expand into the second quarter.

Capacity constraints have caused a run-up in global producer prices, up 14% annualized in April. Rising mobility should cause expenditure patterns to normalize over the next 12M, thereby reducing pressure on global supply chains
