Manufacturing data from the Institute for Supply Management

  • Prior was 57.8
  • Prices paid 62.0 vs 55.8 expected
  • Prior prices paid 55.0
  • New orders 60.4 vs 63.5 prior
  • Employment 55.2 vs 57.2 prior

The prices paid rise could be due to the softness in the US dollar. The dips in employment and new orders aren't great news but they're still at very healthy levels.
