Izintengo Zezinto Zokusebenza zikaJanuwari 'Ziyakhuphuka'

Ngokocwaningo lwe-Associated Builders and Contractors lwe-US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Producer Price Index, amanani ezinto zokwakha ayenyuka kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi ukunyuka okukhulu kwanyanga zonke kusukela ngo-August wangonyaka odlule.

Izintengo zikhuphuke ngo-1% ngoJanuwariuma kuqhathaniswa nenyanga edlule, futhi amanani okokufaka ewonke aphakeme ngo-0.4% kunonyaka odlule. Izintengo zezinto zokwakha ezingezona izindawo zokuhlala nazo kubikwa ukuthi ziphakeme ngo-0.7%.

Uma sibheka izigaba zamandla, amanani enyuke ezigabeni ezimbili kwezintathu ngenyanga edlule. Amanani entengo kaphethiloli ongahluziwe anyuke ngo-6.1%, kuyilapho amanani ezinto zamandla angakacutshungulwa akhuphuke ngo-3.8%. Intengo yegesi yemvelo yehle ngo-2.4% ngoJanuwari.

"Amanani ezinto zokwakha akhuphuke ngoJanuwari, aqeda ukwehla okuthathu okulandelanayo nyanga zonke," kusho iChief Economist yakwa-ABC u-Anirban Basu. “Yize lokhu kumelela ukwenyuka okukhulu kwanyanga zonke kusukela ngo-Agasti 2023, amanani okufakwayo empeleni awashintshile onyakeni odlule, akhuphuke ngaphansi kwengxenye yephoyinti.

"Ngenxa yezindleko zokufakwa ezithambile, inqwaba yosonkontileka ilindele ukuthi inzuzo yabo ikhule ezinyangeni eziyisithupha ezizayo, ngokusho kwe-ABC's Construction Confidence Index."

Ngenyanga edlule, u-Basu waphawula ukuthi ubugebengu obenzeka oLwandle Olubomvu kanye nomphumela wokuphambukiswa kwemikhumbi esuka e-Suez Canal ngaseCape of Good Hope kwakubangela izinga lempahla yomhlaba wonke licishe liphindeke kabili emasontweni amabili okuqala ka-2024.

Okubizwa ngokuthi ukuphazamiseka okukhulu kakhulu kwezohwebo emhlabeni wonke kusukela umqedazwe we-COVID-19, uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwempahla lukhombisa izimpawu zobunzima kulandela lokhu kuhlasela,okuhlanganisa embonini yezingubo zokugqoka.

Izintengo zesigayo sensimbi nazo zenyuke kakhulu ngoJanuwari, zeqa ngo-5.4% kusukela enyangeni edlule. Insimbi nensimbi inyuke ngo-3.5% kanti imikhiqizo kakhonkolo ikhuphuke ngo-0.8%. Ama-Adhesives nama-sealants, nokho, ahlalanga angashintshile enyangeni, kodwa kusesephezulu ngo-1.2% unyaka nonyaka.

“Ukwengeza, isilinganiso esibanzi se-PPI samanani atholwe yibo bonke abakhiqizi basekhaya bemikhiqizo edingekayo yokugcina kanye nezinsizakalo zenyuka ngo-0.3% ngoJanuwari, ngaphezu kwalokho obekulindelekile ukukhuphuka ngo-0.1%,” kusho uBasu.

"Lokhu, kanye nedatha ye-Consumer Price Index eshisa kakhulu kunaleyo ebilindelwe ekhishwe ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto, iphakamisa ukuthi iFederal Reserve ingase igcine amanani enzalo enyuka isikhathi eside kunalokho obekulindelwe ngaphambilini."

Ukusalela emuva, Ukuzethemba Kosonkontileka

Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga, i-ABC iphinde yabika ukuthi i-Construction Backlog Indicator yehle izinyanga ezingu-0.2 yaya ezinyangeni ezingu-8.4 ngoJanuwari. Ngokocwaningo lwamalungu e-ABC, olwenziwa kusukela ngoJanuwari 22 kuya kuFebhuwari 4, ukufundwa kwehle ngezinyanga eziyi-0.6 kusukela ngoJanuwari nyakenye.

Inhlangano ichaza ukuthi ukusilela emuva kukhuphuke kwafinyelela ezinyangeni eziyi-10.9 esigabeni sezimboni esinzima, okuyisibalo esiphezulu sokufunda esirekhodiwe saleso sigaba, futhi siphakeme ngezinyanga ezi-2.5 kunoJanuwari 2023. Nokho, ukusilela emuva kuyehla unyaka nonyaka. ezigabeni zezohwebo/zezikhungo kanye nengqalasizinda.

Ukusilela emuva kuveze ukwanda kwezibalo emikhakheni embalwa, okuhlanganisa:

• imboni Yezimboni Ezinzima, kusukela ku-8.4 kuya ku-10.9;
• isifunda saseNyakatho-mpumalanga, kusukela ku-8.0 kuya ku-8,7;
• isifunda saseNingizimu, kusukela ku-10,7 kuya ku-11.4; futhi
• usayizi wenkampani omkhulu kuno-$100 wezigidi, kusukela ku-10.7 kuya ku-13.0.

Ukusilela emuva kwehle emikhakheni eminingi, okuhlanganisa:

• imboni Yezohwebo Nezikhungo, kusukela ku-9.1 kuya ku-8.6;
• imboni yengqalasizinda, kusukela ku-7.9 kuya ku-7.3;
• isifunda sase-Middle States, kusukela ku-8.5 kuya ku-7.2;
• isifunda saseNtshonalanga, kusukela ku-6.6 kuya ku-5.3;
• usayizi wenkampani ongaphansi kwezigidi ezingu-30 zamaRandi, kusukela ku-7.4 kuya ku-7,2;
• ubukhulu benkampani obungu-$30-$50 million, kusukela ku-11.1 kuya ku-9.2; futhi
• usayizi wenkampani ka-$50-$100 million, kusukela ku-12.3 kuya ku-10.9.

I-Construction Confidence Index ukufundwa kwamazinga okuthengisa nabasebenzi kubikwa ukuthi yenyukile ngoJanuwari, kuyilapho ukufundwa kwezinzuzo zehla. Sekushiwo lokho, konke ukufundwa okuthathu kusasele ngaphezu komkhawulo we-50, okubonisa okulindelwe ukukhula phakathi nezinyanga eziyisithupha ezizayo.
