Philly Fed Soars To 3 Year Highs As Capex Investment Plans Tumble
By the magic of hopes and dreams, Philly Fed's headline index soared to cycle highs at 23.9. Smashing the 16.25 expectation, this is the highest since March 2011 (and almost the highest in the recovery cycle). This is a 4-standard deviation beat. While most of the 'current' subindices improved with new orders exploding to their highest in 10 years (really!?). Great news right? Well no - the outlook 6-months forward sees employment drop, workweek drop, and capex investment plans drop to its lowest since January...
Yay!! multi-year highs...
With New Orders exploding
But Capex plans dropped their most in 18 months to 6 month lows...

Buy, buy, buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New orders explode higher....must mean its upgrade time for Obamaphones....
Just another meaningless bullshit number.
It means inflation.
Yep, with the cost of almost all raw materials increasing, manufacturers announce price increases to maintain margins, and that forces buyers to restock massively just before price increases go into affect. The last half of 2014 is going to be brutal.
Economic indicators are meaningless during the Obowelmovement, haven't we figure that out yet?
Why would you invest in capex when you're already selling everything you can make?
Wouldn't that money be better invested in a nice stock buy-back plan instead?
I'm sorry I ever doubted central planning. Those guys really do know what they're doing.
Thanks Obama
Are you gay or something?
Real infaltion starting to show up everywhere (not just equities) and despite the current velocity of money, scary shit.
and just for good measure...
Fuck you Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen!!!
Five years from bottle to throttle.
I like my Philly with cheddar and some fries. Does that go against the wookie's nutritional recommendations?
What? No onions?
Of course and peppers; and let's not forget the 'shrooms!
That just might meet the requirements. Whew, just in time, stand down DHS.
As an aside, this guy just called Durden out: http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-07-16/gold-dreamers-face-harsh-reality
He left his email, let him know your thoughts!
Gold is up today so he is wrong. Just using his own logic.
Flawless
it says nothing. zh has content, noah has nothing. i am ambivalent about gold but feel dumber for having read that.
Please papa, tell us the story about the Bloomberg again; that deep, dark cesspool of limited intelligence and complicit refuse.
Edit: Not "conspiratorial refuse" rather "complicit refuse." Sonz of beeches; either way. ;-)
Anyone who believes this is actually a real survey, conducted with real business people, randomly selected, has to have their head examined.
What about making it an open survey, on the internet, with contact information provided by the business people who filled the survey so that it is transparent? Yeah, right....
Easy now! Your describing something akin to fundamental economics. A system for which there is no current use for. Now settle down and eat your meat.
Looks like everybody who BATATH was right. I guess it pays to be a pathological optimist.
A "U" shaped recovery. Leave it to Pennsylvania to come up with a load of crap.
"Note 2. All data are seasonally adjusted." Seasonal adjustment means adjustment according to the preference of the Dark House socialists.
Why invest in capex when there's blow and hookers?
and the f*^*ing 10year yield!!
Yield? Who needs yield when you can always sell higher?
SP up 5 on bad news (Homes).... up 2 on good news (Philly). I give up
You have to adjust that by the API (Asset Price Index) which measure the rate of good inflation.
buy the ath bitchez!
i think Sand-dick needs to layoff some folks... holy cow, smells like momo-toast burning
More Bloomturd communist propaganda against Gold. I love the fact that Gold is suppressed! I can buy more of it cheaper with my fiat Fed paper. This can't go on forever!
