NY Manufacturing Index Soars to Highest on Record, Prices Accelerate to Unprecedented Level

The index measuring manufacturing levels in New York soared to the highest on record, echoing a strong acceleration in orders and shipments, while the gauge of selling prices also surged to historic highs.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s general business conditions index surged from 17.4 to a whooping 43 in July. A reading above zero indicates an economic expansion, as the latest print significantly outpaced even the highest estimates put out by economists polled by Bloomberg. The average projection forecast a reading of 18. Similarly, the survey’s index of new orders jumped to 33.2, while the measure of shipments surged to 43.8— the highest for both gauges since 2004.

The index of current factory employment rose to the highest since 2018, while the gauge of future hiring also skyrocketed to a record-high.
