US Manufacturing PMI Collapses To 2 Year Low As New Orders, Employment Slow

Despite EU PMIs surging, US Manufacturing PMI has re-collapsed to 25 month lows as manufacturing employment showed “one of the smallest monthly gains seen over the past five years.” The 52.6 print is below October’s 54.1 and expectations of 54.0. Export orders saw renewed weakness and overall new orders, output, and employment slowed. Of course, hope remains that the Services side of the economy will maintain the dream of escape velocity but if last month’s drop in Services PMI is anything to go by, it seems unlikely.
