Der New York Empire State Index ist mit 19,0 schwächer ausgefallen als erwartet (Prognose war 23,0; Vormonat war 25,6). Das ist der schwächste Wert seit fünf Monaten.
Dazu schreibt die New York Fed, die die Daten erhebt:
„Business activity continued to grow at a solid clip in New York State, according to firms responding to the September 2018 Empire State Manufacturing Survey. The headline general business conditions index showed ongoing strength, but moved down seven points to 19.0, pointing to a slower pace of growth than last month. New orders and shipments grew moderately. Delivery times continued to lengthen, and inventories moved higher. Labor market indicators pointed to an increase in employment levels and longer workweeks. Price indexes were little changed and remained elevated, suggesting ongoing significant increases in both input prices and selling prices. Looking ahead, firms remained fairly optimistic about the six-month outlook.“
