MIDWEST FACTORY ACTIVITY CONTRACTION DECELERATES, SLIGHTLY
Investors began what's sure to be an eventful week, chockfull of economic data with one lone indicator, showing Midwest factory activity is still contracting this month.
MNI Indicators' Chicago purchasing managers' index (PMI) USCPMI=ECI provided a small upside surprise, gaining half a point to 46.6 instead of holding firm at 46.l as analysts expected.
That's cold comfort; the index has lurked below 50 - contraction territory - for ten months now as elevated interest rates and tighter credit conditions have convinced would-be goods buyers to bide their time.
It should be noted that the index's survey period ended on September 17, the day before the Federal Reserve kicked off its rate-cutting phase with a bang a week-and-a-half ago, a move that should result in cooling interest rates and looser credit conditions.
Among survey participants, 31.3% answered "yes" when asked whether Fed rate cuts would "influence their buying or sourcing strategies."
"The marginal rise was due to two of the five subcomponents improving significantly: Order Backlogs and Employment," writes Tim Davis, head of fixed income research at MNI. "Meanwhile, reductions in Supplier Deliveries, New Orders, and Production restricted the upward move."
Focus now turns to Tuesday's broader PMI report from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) which is seen notching a slight deceleration of the contraction of activity in factories nationwide, edging up 0.3 points to 47.5.
That would mark its sixth consecutive month below the magic level of 50.
