Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index
Philly Index indicated a clear improvement and supported a better-than-expected industrial production reading in the USA, which was published earlier this week. However, the overall picture of industrial indices remains weak. Also, considering the ongoing trend and historical readings, one significantly better reading does not necessarily imply a lasting improvement or a move above neutral levels.
