Empire State Index Falls To 4.48 In Feb.
(RTTNews) - A key regional manufacturing survey released on Tuesday suggested that growth for New York State manufacturers slowed last month.
The New York Fed's Empire State index fell to 4.48 for February, compared to a reading of 12.51 for January. Economists had expected a reading of 8.5.
Any reading above zero indicates expansion in the sector. January's decline suggests that manufacturing in New York State continued to expand during the month, but at a slower pace.
