The numbers: The New York Fed’s Empire State business conditions index fell 6.9 points to 17.4 in June, pulling back from strong readings in the past two months, the regional Fed bank said Tuesday. Economists had expected a reading of 22.3, according to a survey by the Wall Street Journal.What happened: The subcomponents were also weaker in June. The new-orders index fell 12.6 points to 16.3 in June while shipments fell 15.5 points to 14.2. Unfilled orders dropped 13.5 points to 7.9.
Delivery times lengthened to a record in the month. Readings on prices-received and prices-paid retreated only slightly in June, remaining at elevated levels. Optimism about the six-month outlook increase and the index for future employment hit a record. Big picture: Manufacturing has been expanding despite supply-side stresses. The rise in delivery times show firms are getting orders faster than they can be filled.
The Empire State index is seen as an early hint of national trends. In May, the closely-watched ISM manufacturing index rose to 61.2 percent from 60.7 percent in the prior month. It has been above the 50 break-even level for a year. The June ISM data will be released early next month. Market reaction: Stocks DJIA, -0.24% SPX, -0.09% were on track to open higher Tuesday as the Federal Reserve is set to kick off a two-day policy meeting.
