The Credit Manager's Index (CMI) rose 0.5% in June to 57.8%, continuing to paint a picture of reasonably strong economic growth. The increase was driven by the service sector, whose 1.3% increase overcame the 0.2% fall the manufacturing sector suffered. Although the manufacturing sector remains in positive territory at 57.3%, it has fallen for two consecutive months and remains 2.6% below last June's level. Dollar collections and accounts placed for collection both fell. Each remains significantly below last year's levels and, like last month, suggest that free cash flow remains a problem in the manufacturing sector, especially in the auto industry. Conversely, eight out of ten components in the service sector rose, led by a 5.6% improvement in bankruptcies, wiping out last month's loss. Overall, the index rose 0.5% to 57.8%, mirroring the macroeconomy's state of reasonably strong growth, and perhaps a rebound from last month's "soft patch." Nonetheless, continued interest rate hikes, a return to sharply rising energy prices, and weakness in Europe all represent significant headwinds.
