Logistics Managers Index signals unusual supply chain slowdown
Jan. 15
The Logistics Managers Index (LMI) measures monthly change across eight metrics to assist in determining whether the supply chain is holding up, whether inflation is rising and if certain goods are becoming more expensive.
Dale Rogers, Professor of Business at W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the report and what factors could be affecting the results.
The recent LMI report started to show signs of a slowdown, which for the month of December is very unusual to occur. Experts are not certain what the main cause could be for the slowdown, but many speculate it could be seasonality or other factors at play.
It could be attributed to waiting to hear if the U.S. Supreme Court will rule President Donald Trump’s tariffs illegal, which could alter the economy.
