Happy Every Economic Statistic in the World Day! 4. Manufacturing continued to expand strongly in September This morning’s final economic report is the ISM manufacturing index for September. This is a short leading indicator, and the new orders subindex specifically is one of the 10 components of the Index of Leading Indicators. A neutral reading is 50. The overall index came in at 55.4, and the new orders subindex came in at 60.2: So while the Index pulled back a little bit from August’s levels, it was still a very strong positive. Again, this is evidence that the economy “wants” very much to expand smartly in the near future, if only the pandemic can be brought under control.
