ISM manufacturing index surges in July

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)
U.S. manufacturers reported a big jump in activity in July, with a key index reaching its highest level in over two years
The Institute for Supply Management said its July manufacturing index surged to a reading of 55.4% vs. 50.9% in June
That’s the highest level since June 2011
Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a reading of 52.0%
Earlier, a similar survey conducted by Markit produced a reading of 53.7 in July, the fastest rate of growth since March
Readings above 50 indicate expansión
The ISM numbers were unusually strong
The production index jumped 11.6 points to a nine-year high of 65.0%
The new-orders component rose 6.4 points to 58.3%, and the employment index leaped 5.7 points to 54.4%
The comments from the purchasing managers themselves were positive but not quite as optimistic
“Overall conditions remain steady and slightly above prior year,” said a manager in paper products
“Sales are holding steady. Business is good,” said a manager in furniture and related products

Outlays for U.S. construction projects unexpectedly declined in June, the Commerce Department reported.

Construction spending fell 0.6% in June to an annualized rate of $883.9 billion. This was well below analysts' expectations of a 0.5% gain and the biggest drop in five months. But May construction spending was upwardly revised to 1.3% growth from the initial read of a gain of 0.5%. Both private and public spending fell in June.
