WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)
The U.S. flash manufacturing purchasing managers'
index inched lower to a 52.2 reading in June from 52.3 in May, Markit said
Thursday
Details of the report were mixed
New orders improved in June, but
employment grew at the slowest rate in the recovery
The index is still above
50, the level that indicates an expansion in activity
"The U.S. manufacturing
sector appears to have remained stuck in a low gear in June, rounding off the
weakest quarter since the third quarter of last year," said Chris Williamson,
chief economist at Markit. Earlier, Markit's euro-zone composite
purchasing-managers' index rose to a 15-month high in June, but still showed
contraction
A separate preliminary version of HSBC's manufacturing purchasing
managers' index for China fell to a nine-month low of 49.6 in June
This was
below expectations and helped fuel a sell off in global markets overnight
