U.S. Manufacturing Index Falls More Than Expected In December
(RTTNews) - After reporting a slight slowdown in the pace of growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector in the previous month, the Institute for Supply Management released a report on Friday showing that the pace of growth in the sector continued to slow in December.
The ISM said its purchasing managers index fell to 55.5 in December from 58.7 in November, although a reading above 50 indicates continued growth in the manufacturing sector. Economists had expected the index to drop to 57.5.
