Highlights
Abrupt slowing is the signal from the manufacturing report of the Philly Fed whose general conditions index for January fell to plus 6.3 from December’s plus 24.3 (revised from 24.5). Growth in new orders, however, does remain solid at plus 8.5 though down from December’s plus 13.6. The 6-month general outlook also is a positive, at a very strong 50.9 vs December’s 50.4.

Now the weak readings led by shipments, which are in contraction at minus 6.9 vs December’s plus 15.1, and employment, now also in contraction at minus 2.0 vs December’s plus 8.4. Unfilled orders also are in the negative column, at minus 8.6 vs plus 2.7 in December. Price readings are soft with input price inflation moderating further and output prices now in modest contraction.
