US DATA: June KC Fed mfg text: “the survey revealed that growth in
Tenth District manufacturing activity rebounded solidly in June after a
brief slowdown last month, and producers remained generally optimistic
about future activity. Factories in the region basically resumed their
solid pace of growth from earlier in the year, following some
disruptions in May… hiring plans remain fairly solid for the second
half of the year… raw materials price indexes fell for the second
straight month, but more producers plan to raise selling prices in the
months ahead.”
