New York Manufacturing Index Drops More Than Expected

 
(RTTNews.com) - Growth in New York manufacturing activity slowed by more than anticipated in the month of November, according to a report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Wednesday.

The New York Fed said its general business conditions index dropped to 19.4 in November from 30.2 in October, although a positive reading still indicates growth. Economists had expected the index to fall to 26.0.

The bigger than expected decrease by the headline index was partly due to a slowdown in the pace of shipments growth, as the shipments index slid to 18.4 in November from 27.5 in October.
