“Indeed, on the back of a much better than expected improvement in the NY Fed empire manufacturing survey earlier this week, yesterday’s Philly Fed manufacturing survey showed the headline business conditions index rising an impressive 15.2pts to 12.4 (vs. -1.5 expected) and the best print since February last year.
The details of the survey were encouraging also with new orders in particular a standout with the monthly increase the most since 2005, while shipments and employment also improved. All-in-all the data is certainly an encouraging sign for hopes of further improvement in this month’s ISM manufacturing reading which we’ll get two weeks today.”
