US Manufacturing PMI Beats But Employment Slows To Worst In 2014
Having hit cycle highs over 57 in February (in peak cold-weather season), US Manufacturing PMI appears unable to regain the positive momentum of that peak despite weather no longer being an issue. While the 56.2 print beat expectations of 55.5, with new orders improving, the all-too-crucial employment sub-index dropped to its slowest rate of expansion in 2014. Until just a few months ago when this macro indicator started to rise, it was seen as a secondary data item but once it started reinforcing the status quo believers trend it became crucial.
PMI beats but remains well below cold-season peak...

The declining PMI employment index:
And perhaps most troubling:
On the price front, May’s data indicated an acceleration of input cost inflation to the strongest since January. Manufacturers suggested that the rise in input prices was broad-based, though the majority were unable to pass these higher costs on to their customers.

PMI beats, but Baltic Dry Index is below 1000. Baltic Dry was near 12,000 in 2008.
That one helluva recovery.
So PMI reflects domestic activity - fair enough. You park enough brand new cars in farmer's fields to rot, you can make the PMI say anything.
So even though Company A is releasing employees, the real hope for Company A is that the OTHER companies don't release their employees so that someone is still left to buy Company A products.
